BEMO’s exclusive Mobile Factory Mills provide the highest-quality panel sheet shapes, smooth curves and true tapered panels available anywhere in the world. BEMO also offers custom-width panels in continuous rolled-formed shapes and has the industry’s first multiple-axis panel with the BEMO-MONRO system providing continuous single-pass panels that are rolled into three-dimensional shapes.

Performance, Integrity, Style

The structural nature of the BEMO-Roof gives the designer the opportunity to reduce project costs by minimizing steel requirements and in many cases completely eliminate the need for metal deck. With a seam height of 65 mm (2-9/16") and standard width offerings of 305 mm (12"), 400 mm (15-3/4") and 500 mm (19-3/4"), the BEMO-Roof panels can be tailored to fit almost any architectural design. The system offers a completely weather-tight roof with a life expectancy far exceeding conventional roofing applications.

Specialty Stainless Steel and 330' Long Curved Panels

3,300,000 sf (307,000 m2) of continuous length, serpentine curved 22 ga. (.8 mm) stainless steel BEMO 400 mm panels cover the Hamad International Airport. BEMO worked with HOK to design the specialty application for this complex roofing design and engineered a full system that will provide decades of protection in a very corrosive environment.

BEMO Custom Shapes and Curves

Extreme Flexibility

Convex, concave or even “S” curves can be easily and efficiently accommodated by the BEMO-Roof System. The BEMO-Roof panels can be curved by means of a specially developed rolling mill that can curve the BEMO panels smoothly to a radius as tight as 10' (3.01 m) or less, depending on the profile and material used.

BEMO-Roof panels can be manufactured using many different metal substrates. The most common is PVDF-coated or mill-finished aluminum. BEMO offers many standard PVDF 500 finishes, represented in our BEMO color collection brochure, which can easily be applied to aluminum, G-90 galvanized, Galvalume and Zincalume.

Tapered and Custom-Width Panels

Tapered (pie-shaped) and custom-width panels are efficiently and economically manufactured with one of the world’s first tapered-rolling mills for structural standing seam panels. This technology can provide tapered and custom-width roll-formed panels in continuous uninterrupted lengths of hundreds of feet.

BEMO Durability and Performance

High-Performance BEMO System – Performance is Paramount with This System

Bemo USA has taken the most stringent testing world-wide, and engineered roofing assemblies that meet and exceed even the most challenging environments.

Hurricane & Typhoon Areas – BEMO has hundreds of installations along the United States Gulf Coast region, Florida and the Caribbean, as well as a South Pacific installation at the Saipan International Airport. Projects in these areas have withstood multiple hurricanes, including 155 mph (249 kph) typhoon winds in Saipan, without a single system failure. In

order to responsibly design, engineer and install a system that can meet this kind of performance, BEMO has invested heavily in receiving certifications for Heavy Missile Impact, Full Submersion, FEMA approval for use on Emergency Operations Facilities, and for full use in High-Velocity Hurricane Zones (HVHZ-219.6 psf rated).

Temperature and corrosion are a volatile combination, and yet that is exactly what Bemo USA had to work with at the Hamad International Airport project in Doha, Qatar. With summer temperatures exceeding 122° F (50° C), high humidity and high salt content, this project demanded the highest performance in wind, sand abrasion, air infiltration and corrosion in the more than 3.3 million sf (310,000 m²) of roofing area. BEMO, in conjunction with metallurgical specialists, developed an architectural stainless steel panel system that is able to stand up to the

extreme temperatures and corrosion, as well as meet all the other performance criteria. In addition, the self-adhering membrane had to perform during extended periods of exposure and construction traffic. The solution was BEMO-Xtreme HT, which had been exposed in some cases for over 180 days without system degradation.

BEMO Flexibility and Innovation

BEMO-MONRO®: The Highest Standards of Design and Quality

BEMO-MONRO clads buildings of all shapes and sizes with flexibility and precision.

BEMO employs state-of-the-art 3D design technology and proprietary file-to-factory software to determine the shape of each BEMO-MONRO panel. For highly demanding projects, it is possible to custom-manufacture every single panel to ensure precise alignment with the building contours.

The BEMO-MONRO system includes BEMO-DOME, a modular substructure that can be adjusted in three dimensions. The substructure precisely follows the building’s contours, and accommodates tolerance in the as-built load-bearing structure. It enables exact positioning of the halters, and can be installed quickly and efficiently.

The panels are cut to size and rolled in a single operation. The rollers are mounted on individually controlled stations, allowing the creation of free-form panels with concave and convex segments with extremely large and extremely small radii, and widths between 3.93" (100 mm) and 39.37" (1,000 mm). It is also possible to produce panels in lengths over 393' (100 m).

The number and direction of the central ribs can be varied in line with your project needs – ensuring clean lines no matter the building shape. Once the panels have been rolled, they can be curved to create concave and convex forms. Our specialized equipment is capable of curving very small radii. Our exclusive BEMO Mobile Factory Mills can be shipped anywhere in the world.

This makes it possible to create roofs and walls with an exceptionally attractive appearance – without additional material stress.

The precise position and height of the halters are determined using a 3D survey of the as-built structure. The coordinates of the halters are projected onto the building and clearly marked. The contractor also receives a model depicting the positions of the halters and all information necessary for easy installation. No special tools are required.
