When we walk through a building, we rarely stop to think about what’s inside its walls—or what gives it strength. Yet, the backbone of many buildings, including critical infrastructure in high-traffic public spaces, is modern steel framing powered by roll forming technology. Exploring roll forming, cold-formed steel walls, and cold-formed steel trusses in a landmark structure, such as the Siddhartha Cable Car project in Butwal, Nepal, is a clear example of how these elements come together to deliver lasting, high-performance results.
Located in the Lumbini region near the birthplace of Buddha, this vibrant and internationally visited destination now includes a robust station complex built with cold-formed steel framing. The structures serve over 6,000 visitors per day and reflect the best of modern construction methods with traditional significance.

Steel Framing at the Core of Pilgrimage Infrastructure
The steel framed buildings at the lower station of the Siddhartha Cable Car include the ticketing office and several souvenir shops. These structures, built by our customer IT Steel Structure Solutions, showcase how steel framing can be both lightweight and structurally robust, ideal for high-traffic areas, earthquake zones, and modern architectural designs.
Using two advanced roll forming machines, the Scotpanel 7090 and the Scottruss 6050, the IT Steel Structure Solutions team was able to produce every element of the building with cold-formed steel members. This pairing enabled the fabrication of both cold-formed steel walls and cold-formed steel trusses, maximizing flexibility, reducing lead times, and ensuring tight quality control.

The Power of Roll Forming Machines
Roll forming is the backbone of efficient steel framing production. With minimal manual labor, these machines convert flat steel coil into ready-to-assemble structural components.
- The Scotpanel 7090 roll forming machines excel in producing cold-formed steel walls, load-bearing and non-load-bearing, with high dimensional accuracy and consistent output.
- The Scottruss 6050 roll forming machines are ideal for building cold-formed steel trusses that are lightweight yet capable of supporting heavy loads and large spans.
Together, they give fabricators the tools to construct complete steel framed buildings with unmatched precision and speed.
Cold-Formed Steel Trusses and Walls Are Built to Last
The Siddhartha Cable Car project is more than just a transportation hub; it’s a symbol of modern infrastructure with heritage tourism. Every building on site is a product of expertly detailed cold-formed steel walls and cold-formed steel trusses, forming the unseen skeleton that will stand to serve the community and its visitors for decades.
This project proves that whether you’re constructing urban offices, modular housing, or sacred pilgrimage stations, steel framing powered by roll forming machines is a smart, scalable, and reliable solution.
Why Steel Framed Buildings Are the Future
From design to production, roll forming allows fabricators to create strong, adaptable components for a wide range of building types. As seen in the Siddhartha Cable Car project, this method supports rapid deployment and custom architecture in even the most demanding locations.
With steel framing, cold-formed steel walls, and cold-formed steel trusses, the global construction industry is moving toward a future defined by sustainability, resilience, and speed.
