Welded Heliport

The heliport was closed for private operational and economic reasons. As a private facility owned by Welded Construction, L.P., its existence was tied to the company's need and ability to operate a corporate helicopter. Such facilities are commonly closed when a company sells its aircraft, changes its executive travel policies, or finds the high cost of operation and maintenance is no longer justified.

The site of the former heliport is now an indistinguishable part of the asphalt parking lot adjacent to the Welded Construction, L.P. corporate office at 26415 Dussel Drive, Perrysburg, Ohio. Current satellite imagery shows no remaining infrastructure, such as a helipad marking (the 'H'), lighting, or a windsock. The area is used for employee and visitor vehicle parking.

Welded Heliport was a private-use heliport with no major historical significance to the general public. Its function was exclusively for the business operations of its owner, Welded Construction, L.P., a prominent pipeline construction company. The heliport facilitated efficient corporate travel for executives, allowing them to move between the Perrysburg headquarters, remote construction sites, and regional airports for connecting flights. Operations would have consisted of a single corporate helicopter.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening Welded Heliport. The facility has been permanently closed for over a decade, and its reactivation would require significant investment and recertification from the FAA. Given it was a private facility tied to a specific corporate need that no longer exists, the likelihood of it reopening is virtually zero.
