We offer professional structural welding in Iowa City, IA, providing custom metal fabrication tailored to project needs.

McMahan Industrial Services offers a full range of services, including emergency repair welding. Our certified team delivers portable, on-site solutions backed by industry-aligned practices.

Custom Plasma Cut Capability

Industrial facilities require precise, repeatable plasma cutting to meet tight tolerances for structural and sheet metal components. Inconsistent cut quality delays downstream processes and risks nonconformance to ASTM/ISO standards.

McMahan Industrial Services offers custom plasma cut capability with improved accuracy and operational reliability. Capabilities include programmable nesting, edge quality control, and material-specific kerf management to optimize yields.

Additionally, custom sheet metal fabrication ensures that every project meets specific client requirements.

Data Points

• Plasma table: CNC-controlled, hollow-jet gas assist; typical tolerance ±0.0625 in (1.6 mm) for structural plates per ASTM A36.

• Materials: carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum up to industry-standard thickness.

• Standards: OSHA compliance for shop operations; ISO 9001/AS9100-aligned quality practices where applicable.

Tailored Welding Process Blueprint

In Iowa City, structural welding projects face downtime, noncompliance risk, and unclear process mapping for custom fabrication and repairs.

McMahan Industrial Services delivers a customized welding process blueprint (TPBP) aligning with ASTM F3149, OSHA 1910/1926, and ISO 3834-2 as applicable.

The blueprint specifies material certification (AWS D1.1/D1.3), weld procedure specifications (WPS) for structural welds, preheat/interpass temperatures, interpass cleanliness, and final NDT criteria (magnetic particle/ultrasonic per project class).

Data Points

• Structural welding scope: handrail, staircase, and hatch installations; general steel repairs

• Metrics: weld bead consistency > 5% undercut tolerance; dimensional tolerance ±1/8 in. per ANSI/ASME

• Equipment: plasma table, mobile welding fleet, and field-to-shop workflow (measurement—fabrication—installation)

• Compliance: OSHA 29 CFR 1910, 1926; ASTM/ISO applicable standards
