Rusted Terminal Support Beams
At McMahan Industrial Services, we uncovered severely rusted support beams during our initial inspection of the Cedar Rapids Airport terminal. To guarantee passenger safety and structural integrity, we quickly developed a beam restoration plan. Our team needed to act fast to prevent further damage.
Our rust prevention process included:
-
Removing loose rust and debris with wire brushes
-
Cleaning each beam with industrial-strength solvents
-
Applying protective rust-resistant coatings
-
Installing reinforcement plates where needed
We worked during off-peak hours to minimize disruption to airport operations.
Our skilled welders replaced the most damaged sections and strengthened the existing beams to extend their service life.
Our AWS D1.1 certification ensures all structural repairs meet rigorous industry standards for safety and quality.
