Heat straightening, also known as flame straightening, is where damaged steel is meticulously brought back into alignment using the power of heat. This technique offers a cost-effective alternative to replacement, delivering remarkable results while preserving the integrity of structures.
Mastering the art of heat straightening requires a blend of expertise and precision. With controlled application of heat to specific areas, damaged steel can be restored to its original strength and alignment. However, this delicate process demands years of experience to avoid pitfalls such as overheating and excessive strain.
At its core, heat straightening is a straightforward concept. When steel is heated, it expands, and upon cooling, it contracts back to its original form. By strategically applying heat and restraining the steel's movement, it can be reshaped without compromising its structural integrity. Common methods include vee heat, spot heat, and line heat, complemented by physical restraints such as hydraulic jacks and come-a-longs.
Financially, heat straightening presents a more economical solution compared to replacement. Its efficiency translates to reduced labor costs and minimal material expenses. Moreover, the ability to perform repairs without disrupting traffic flow minimizes congestion and allows for flexible scheduling, ensuring minimal disruption to daily routines.
In the realm of structural repair, heat straightening stands as a testament to ingenuity and efficiency. With its ability to rejuvenate damaged steel while saving time and resources, it remains a cornerstone of modern engineering practices. Experience the transformative power of heat straightening and witness damaged structures return to their former glory.

Flame On has straightened 36" beams that were 24" out of line and contained multiple cracks and tears to be within mill tolerance.
Typically two times in the exact impact location, more often than not the impact location is not in the same zone, allowing for additional straightening on the same beam.
Generally, traffic can be left unimpeded above the beam that is being straightened.
To ensure that no steel degradation occurs, Flame On keeps the heat temperature below a certain degree. This temperature is usually 1200 degrees Fahrenheit and is dependent on the type and age of the steel.
The heat straightening process can be used to straighten beams to be within the original mill tolerance.
Heat straightening can be performed from -30 degrees Fahrenheit to 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Flame On usually completes projects in 4-5 days from start to finish.
Flame On can repair damage in multiple lanes by switching lane closures or by working out of one lane. Traffic is shut down and rerouted in only the most extenuating circumstances.
A logging rig struck the thru-truss, causing major damage. The upper chord sagged in excess of 25 inches and the lower chord sagged over 15 inches.
Please contact us and describe how we may be of service. If possible, please attach pictures showing the extent of the damage.
