Severe Exterior Corrosion does not mean Unrepairable

A Wisconsin food processing facility faced a common but critical problem: severe corrosion in the outer jackets of multiple carbon steel silos. The deterioration wasn't just an aesthetic issue—it was showing up on regulatory audits and creating a poor impression for visitors passing the facility.

The challenge required precision work: removing corroded steel without compromising structural integrity, then creating durable patches that would accept paint finishes. We ground away corroding material to sound steel and repaired all affected areas with fiberglass patches before painting contractors applied fresh white coating.

The result: audit compliance restored, rust staining eliminated, and a clean professional appearance that reflects the facility's high operational standards. When metal infrastructure fails but complete replacement isn't economically feasible, fiberglass repair solutions extend asset life at a fraction of replacement costs.

This type of targeted restoration requires understanding how to integrate fiberglass with existing metal structures—something that we at Fiberglass Solutions LLC engineer, manufacture and deliver regularly.
