Damaged Aerial Billboard Welds

Three damaged welds on the billboard's support structure were identified during a routine inspection, compromising its structural integrity and stability. 

Regarding billboard maintenance, we don't take chances with structural problems.

Here's what we found during our detailed assessment:

• Cracked welds at the main support beam junction

• Rust deterioration around critical connection points

• Missing reinforcement plates at stress points

• Inadequate weld penetration on vertical supports

• Loose bolted connections near the damaged areas

The repairs included cleaning the affected areas, reinforcing weak points, and applying new welds using specialized equipment designed for aerial work.

After completing the work, we test all repairs to confirm the billboard was safe and secure.

Ultrasonic testing allowed us to verify the internal strength of each new weld without disrupting traffic below.

Mobile Aerial Lift Welding

Soaring high above Des Moines, our mobile welding team tackled the billboard repairs using state-of-the-art aerial lift equipment. Our mobile welding units brought everything needed right to the site, letting us work quickly and safely at height.

We follow strict mobile lift safety rules to protect our workers and the public below.

When working on aerial welding techniques, we make sure to:

• Inspect all lift equipment before starting work

• Secure all tools and welding gear to prevent drops

• Use proper fall protection equipment at all times

• Monitor weather conditions for safe operations

• Keep clear communication between ground crew and welders

Our aerial lift platform gives us stable access to reach damaged sections of the billboard structure. We bring our specialized welding tools up in secured containers, making it easy to work efficiently at height.
