    I have seen quite a few curved laminated things, usually they will be stacked together and steamed then formed as a stack allowed to cure then separated glued and re assembled this allows each lamination layer to be formed with lower stress to the fibers. Some are even tongue and grooved with shallow tongues and grooves to aid in maintaining the stacks shape, I wonder if this cylindrical shaped beam was done much the same way.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products
