NZ (Nurol Zeman) Steel
Construction Engineering
Building Industry and Trade
Inc. , was founded in early
2005 by the marriage of
Nurol Machinery/Steel
Division, a leading
corporation in Turkey and
the Zeman Group, a leading
Austrian steel construction
company with 20 locations in
Europe. This partnership
consists of not only the
total investment of
1.850.000;€ by Nurol
Machinery Inc. for the SIN
Profile Production line
which has been developed and
constructed by Company Zeman
and erected at Kazan-Ankara
factory of Nurol Machinery
Steel Division again under
the supervision of Company
Zeman, but also the
establishment of NZ Steel
Inc. with 50% ownership of
both companies, which is
making the engineering,
sales and marketing
activities to present and
sell this spectacular
product. NZ has united the
vast experience of Nurol in
domestic and international
markets and the
international manufacturing
and project implementation
experiences of Zeman with a
view to enter new markets.
Owing to the experience of
its constituent companies on
international projects,
standards, and modern
project management
techniques, NZ will achieve
successful implementations
in new markets.

NZ is a reliable corporation which has
the financial support and the
accumulation of knowledge of its
constituent companies. The priority
objective of NZ Steel is to advise,
design, calculate, construct, produce,
deliver and assemble anything from
complex steel structures to all purpose
industrial hangars such as shopping
centers, sports complexes and tailor
made hangars in countries like Turkey,
Israel, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon,
Persian Gulf, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan,
Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan.
We are proud of presenting the high
technology product SIN Beam (Corrugated
Web Beam) which provides economical
solutions for large spans , high
load-bearing capacity , a minimum
production time and Legato Arc Systems
which allows to curve meanwhile
commonly used and well known straight
trapezoidal corrugated metal panels to
arched elements to Turkish Steel
Industry.
The high technology SIN beam provides
economical solutions for larger spans
and high load-bearing capacity in
minimum production time. Girders,
columns, single and multi-nave frames,
bridge structures, craneway girders and
frame works with larger spans are
produced more economically and safely by
the SIN beam.
Compared to the classical approach ;SIN
Profiles are showing the following
crucial characteristics:
-
High load-bearing capacity with
comparatively low design weight
-
Increased savings with increasing
spans
-
Saving in building height compared
with lattice beam constructions
-
Utmost optimization of weight due to
adaptability of building heights
-
Minimum loss in production
-
Fast production through complete
automation and short delivery times
-
Suitable to use for a span of 40 m.
without using a column
The new age SIN beam will open a new
road in the design, fabrication and
erection of hangars, industrial
buildings, sports, exhibition and
leisure complexes. SIN beams produce
exceptionally economical and technically
sophisticated structures improved by a
revolutionary design technology and high
load-bearing capacity. Leading companies
are now choosing SIN beams for their
construction needs SIN beams’ high
quality, safe construction is used in
shopping malls, business centers and
factories. SIN beams, economical and
popular around the world, are now
available in Turkey. Due to
sophisticated computer controlled
equipment, all costly and time consuming
welding processes are minimized through
automation. Brief processing times for
the corrugated web beams (automatic
welding capacity of 1 m per minute)
guarantee the specified production
deadlines.
As a summary NZ Steel Inc. is continuing
its activities at his office in Ankara/Karum
Business Center Nr. 21/446, in order to
present the SIN Profiles to Turkish
steel sector, which will anyway cause a
revolution in steel industry in a very
short time period. These profiles have
been already used for Real and Metro
Shopping Malls in Germany and Poland.
In order to make the marketing of the
SIN Profiles lots of marketing
activities such as participation to the
fairs, advertisements in different
sectoral magazines and newspapers are
being done.
Also project,fabrication and erection
works have been finished with signing
the initial acceptance for Seramik Anka
Project (Seramik Toprak Urunleri Ltd) in
December 2006 which was built in
Çifteler / Eskişehir approximately
24.000m2 area
Project studies were started in May 2006
and 1016 tons steel materials were used
in this project which consists of 7
different parts. Whole project works
were made by NZ engineers which the
fabrication of the construction were
made by Nurol Makina A.Ş. Çelik
Işletmeleri.The project has included
fabrication and the erection of the
steel construction and supplying,
delivering, erecting of the roof and
façade claddings approximately 35.000 m2
area.
After achieving Seramik Anka factory
building Project,expansion building
steel construction works have been given
to NZ Steel Const. within the current
contract which will be constructed in
2007 and approximately 16.000m2 area.
NZ Steel Construction spent a successful
year, completed 15 projects using with
SIN profiles in 2006
