At McMahan Industrial Services, we fixed significant steel beams in a Minneapolis sports arena. We made sure the beams lined up perfectly using our special laser tools and strong welding methods.

Our teams of welders worked together in different areas to finish the job quickly and safely. We checked every weld carefully with special machines to ensure everything was strong. Our project helped make the arena bigger and safer for people to enjoy sports games.

Steel Beam Alignment Issues

While installing support beams for the Minneapolis Sports Arena's eastern expansion, our structural welding team identified critical alignment issues affecting multiple steel girders.

After careful inspection, we found several beams weren't lining up properly, which could affect the building's safety. We quickly developed a plan to fix these problems and keep the project on track.

Our team made sure to check these vital things during steel beam installation:

• Measure each beam's position twice before welding

• Check all connection points with laser levels

• Test the strength of existing support structures

• Look for bending or warping in new beams

• Ensure spacing between beams matches the blueprints

The quick response from our team meant we could solve these issues before they became bigger problems. Now the building is strong and safe, like it will be.

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

Precise Stadium Welding Alignment

After resolving the initial beam alignment challenges, our team implemented advanced welding alignment protocols for the stadium's remaining structural work.

We've learned that precise welding techniques are essential for stadium safety, especially when connecting large steel sections. Our mobile welding units come equipped with modern alignment tools that help us make perfect joins every time.

To guarantee the highest level of precision in our stadium welding work, we follow these key steps:

• Check every measurement twice before making any cuts or welds

• Use laser alignment tools to mark exact joining points

• Position steel beams with hydraulic lifts for perfect fit

• Test all welds with ultrasound equipment for strength

• Document each weld location with photos and detailed notes

Our welding techniques focus on creating strong, lasting connections to keep the stadium safe for many years.

Our ultrasonic testing methods ensure minimal disruption to ongoing construction activities while maintaining the highest safety standards.

Fast-Tracked Welding Project Completion

Despite the project's aggressive timeline, our team has accelerated the stadium expansion while maintaining our rigorous quality standards. Our mobile welding units let us work on multiple sections at once, helping us stay ahead of schedule.

We've put these key steps in place to keep the project flicking and safely:

• Daily safety briefings before each shift starts

• Multiple welding teams working in coordinated zones

• Regular quality checks after each significant weld

• Dedicated supervisors monitoring progress in real-time

• Emergency response teams on standby during critical phases

Our fast-track approach means the stadium will open on time for the upcoming sports season. We use our custom fabrication skills to prepare components off-site, which saves time during installation.

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