THE BEST SOLUTIONS START WITH EXPERIENCE TRANSMISSION TOWERS Leading change in power transmission The design of transmission towers is changing from lattice structure pylons to pylons with a tubular structure. As a result, Valmont SM occupies a strong position in the transmission tower market. The design change is driven by the aim to reduce the visual impact of the pylons and enable a location close to populated areas.

Surface Treatments AUTOMATED COATING FACILITY CAN HANDLE
THE LARGEST FUTURE OFFSHORE WIND TURBINE TOWERS
Where coatings and innovation meet Featuring state of the art automated robotics, the Valmont SM coating facility is designed and fully dedicated to sandblasting, metallization and coating of wind turbine towers. The entire process from sandblasting to hardening is carried out in one indoor facility separated by split walls and sliding doors. Being located in one facility ensures optimal production with limited energy consumption as the steel can keep the same temperature throughout the process, which is essential for coating. • The Valmont SM fully-automated sandblasting set-up can complete the process on time to eliminate the risk of corrosion • Fully automated metallization ensures even layer thickness • Robot automated coating is more efficient and more uniform than manual coating • The facility can handle specifications for surface treatments subject to the latest requirements and norms within industrial painting, onshore as well as offshore Traditional coatings for specific situations Sometimes, the traditional methods of coatings are still the best. That’s why Valmont SM provides traditional coatings for specific situations, including: • Bridges • Oil and Gas equipment • Large Steel Structures

History Sønderjyllands Maskinfabrik (SM) was founded in the 1940s and was owned by the utility, Soenderjyllands Hoejspaendingsvaerk, until 1998 (now Ă˜rsted). In the beginning, it was a service workshop for the utilities, with in-house production of steel constructions for use in power plants and production of transmission towers. Through the years, SM gained experience in other industries and developed competencies in material handling systems, process equipment, and complex steel structures for larger constructions. SM started selling to the oil & gas industry in Norway in the middle of the 1990s. Since then, the industry has grown, and Norwegian-based companies have been acquired by global oil & gas suppliers, resulting in SM now supplying globally. DS Gruppen acquired SM in 1998 and named the company DS SM. At the time, DS Gruppen owned ABC Coating in Roedekro where the company handled coating of wind turbine towers for Micon (now Vestas). The acquisition enabled DS Gruppen to start black steel production of wind turbine towers. The first wind turbine tower production line was ready for use in 1998. Capacity was expanded with a second line in 2000 and a third in 2002. It also had close connections with the energy sector and continued to deliver steel constructions to utilities. DS SM expanded its wind turbine tower production capacity in 2007 and 2008 with a state-of-the-art wind turbine tower coating facility based on fully-automated robot technology. In 2007, two black steel production lines for the biggest offshore towers were established. In 2010 DS SM starts manufacturing direct-drive generator rotor house. In 2014 the company was acquired by Valmont Industries, Inc. and names the company Valmont SM.
