We provide custom metal fabrication and welding solutions for unique projects in Iowa. Our welder in Waterloo IA delivers on-site services with certified procedures and precise finishes.

McMahan Industrial Services offer a full range of services including emergency repair welding. We combine design engineering, material expertise, and portable welding to minimize downtime and turn your ideas into reality.

Custom Fabrication Services

Our process addresses three critical fabrication domains:

Design Engineering: Collaborative CAD development translating structural requirements into load-bearing specifications for railings, stairs, and structural steel components.

We establish material grades, joint configurations, and dimensional tolerances before fabrication initiation.

On-Site Welding Operations: Portable equipment deployment minimizing production downtime.

We execute AWS D1.1 certified welding protocols with real-time quality verification, reducing secondary finishing costs.

Material Selection Framework: Specification matching balances tensile strength requirements against corrosion resistance and aesthetic finish protocols—hot-dip galvanizing, powder coating, or mechanical patina applications.

Cost optimization derives from material efficiency, not specification compromise. This methodology ensures structural integrity, dimensional accuracy, and performance reliability across industrial and architectural applications, while also prioritizing sanitary equipment fabrication solutions to enhance food safety in the food and beverage industry.

Custom Weld Process Tailored Designs

McMahan Industrial delivers tailored welding fabrication engineered to specification rather than standardized parameters. Our methodology addresses three core competencies:

Material-Specific Processes
Austenitic stainless steel requires distinct heat input and shielding gas protocols versus carbon steel. We select processes—MIG, TIG, stick—based on material composition, thickness, and application requirements.

Structural Applications
Pipe welding demands positional competency across 1G-4G classifications. General metal fabrication encompasses plate joining, structural steel assembly, and precision tolerancing.

On-Site Fabrication Services
Mobile welding eliminates transportation constraints. Field measurement, fit-up, and installation reduce assembly errors and dimensional drift.

This integration of process selection, material science, and logistics ensures weld integrity meets API, ASME, or customer-specified codes without rework cycles.

On-Site Fabrication Services

Mobile welding operations execute structural modifications and repairs at production locations, eliminating transportation delays and maintaining equipment uptime.

Our service scope includes:

Aerial Access Welding: Technicians perform elevated joint fabrication, pipe connections, and structural repairs using certified rigging protocols and fall protection systems.

Custom Fabrication & Repair: Field-based machining handles non-standard component fabrication, pipe fitting modifications, and weld repair using SMAW, GMAW, and FCAW processes.

Safety Compliance: Operations follow OSHA regulations, material inspection standards, and documented safety procedures with equipment certification verification.
