We at McMahan Industrial Services fixed the broken pedestrian bridge in Iowa City. The bridge had rusty support beams that needed our attention. Our expert welders cleaned and fixed damaged steel joints using our specialized tools.

We installed new weather-resistant steel supports to strengthen the bridge's structure. Our team conducted thorough inspections before, during, and after the repairs to ensure safety.

Corroded Bridge Support Beams

Rust and weather damage had severely compromised several support beams on Iowa City's pedestrian bridge, creating an urgent need for structural repairs.

Our team at McMahan Industrial Services quickly assessed the situation and found extensive corrosion threatening the bridge's structural integrity.

We knew we needed to act fast to keep everyone safe who uses this vital walkway.

• Deep rust had eaten through critical support sections, weakening the main load-bearing beams.

• Water damage from years of rain and snow had accelerated metal deterioration.

• Previous patch repairs were failing and needed complete replacement.

Our bridge maintenance plan focused on removing all corroded sections and replacing them with new, weather-resistant steel supports. We cut away the damaged parts carefully, ensuring not to harm the sections.

Our AWS D1.1 certification ensures all structural welding work meets the highest industry standards for safety and quality.

Precision Steel Joint Restoration

After identifying the compromised support beams, we turned our attention to the bridge's critical steel joints that needed precision restoration.

We implemented several restoration methods to strengthen the bridge's steel joints:

• Applied advanced cleaning procedures to remove rust and prepare surfaces for welding

• Used precision welding tools to repair damaged joint sections

• Reinforced key connection points with supplementary steel supports

Our team worked systematically to restore each joint, making certain every weld met strict safety standards.

To ensure long-term protection against deterioration, we implemented cathodic protection systems for the bridge's underground support structures.

Expert Welders for Bridge Solutions

Drawing from our extensive structural welding experience, McMahan Industrial Services deployed a specialized team of certified bridge welders to address Iowa City's pedestrian bridge challenges. 

Our expert bridge solutions include:

• Complete safety inspections before, during, and after all welding work

• Advanced welding techniques that protect the bridge's existing structure

• Mobile welding units for quick response to urgent bridge repairs

When bridges need repair, we bring our mobile welding trucks right to the site. This lets us fix problems fast and keep the bridge safe for people to use.

With our special tools and skilled welders, we can fix any bridge problem while keeping the structure strong and reliable for years to come.

Ultrasonic testing methods help us evaluate weld strength without causing disruption to normal bridge operations.
