Macalloy tension rods have been used to brace the steel roof structure on Dong Energy’s HQ in Gentoffe, Denmark.

The tie bars are used to support the steel structure that holds up a glass atrium. The lightweight steel support minimizes the effect of the steelwork on the project.

Macalloy adjustable compression struts were also used on the building and utilized the Macalloy fork and pin connection, providing a seamless architectural finish throughout the building.
