WHAT WE DO

From design to reality,
all under one roof

Commercial, industrial or institutional. We combine structural materials to create energy-efficient metal buildings that deliver years of trouble-free performance.

OUR CAPABILITIES

Everything your project needs, in one place.

We bring together technology, experience and disciplined processes to deliver steel solutions with the highest quality and precision.

STEEL THAT DRIVES BIG IDEAS
01 3D MODELING

3D design and BIM model

The metal building is modeled and detailed in 3D, so every element can be accounted for in detail. A 3D model simulates the actual structure with all the geometric and structural information a construction project must contain.

All of our software runs on a BIM interface. That makes it possible to account precisely for the building's real conditions, from service and hail loads to dynamic seismic loads and the review of internal forces in the members.

BIM interface across the entire workflow
Less time and fewer resources to build your project
02 DESIGN

Structural engineering and optimization

We work with the most advanced structural analysis and design techniques. We evaluate every possible path to reach the optimal design, in accordance with national and international codes, representing every component of the metal building in detail.

United gives you quotes, design calculations and approval drawings, including anchor bolt templates, in a matter of minutes. It also produces fast, accurate shop drawings and bills of material, which cuts shop errors and lead time.

03 PLANNING

Planning and costing

Powerful, flexible modeling and detailing software integrates the entire workflow, from sales and bidding through detailing and fabrication. Three-dimensional modeling makes material yield simpler and more accurate to calculate than 2D-based methods.

We run production management software that handles every stage of the project, keeping constant control of the budget, process quality and operating efficiency.

04 SUPPLY

Steel and component supply

United holds long-standing commercial relationships with the leading manufacturers of steel and metal building components in Mexico, the United States and Europe.

That lets us offer you first-quality, fully warranted product at the best price, with just-in-time delivery to the jobsite.

05 QUALITY

Quality control

We run a quality control system staffed by technical personnel certified in ASNT Level II nondestructive testing, a CWI inspector certified by AWS and technical support from a Level III inspector.

Every applicable NDT method has its own documented inspection procedure, with certified equipment and consumables, operator and welder certifications, and WPS welding procedures.

06 FABRICATION

Fabrication in our own plant

United delivers product quality together with exceptional service, technical support and creativity in every solution. To do that, we run a production plant equipped with the best technology in every one of our processes.

We do not subcontract the structure: it is fabricated in our own shop, with highly qualified personnel and one party accountable from start to finish. That is what makes it possible to commit to a schedule and hold it.

07 ROBOTALLICA

Robotallica

The most advanced robotic technology for the fabrication, processing and detailing of structural shapes such as wide-flange beams, HSS, angles, CPS channel and flat bar.

Our drilling service delivers a more complete, optimized result thanks to a robotic arm capable of 360-degree drilling.

08 AUTOMATED LINE

Automated three-plate girder line

Building three-plate girders has never been this fast or this simple. High quality and production standards are possible thanks to the performance of our dual beam welding line.

It welds straight and tapered beams, as well as box girders with parallel or tapered flanges. It welds with the web set vertically and with no need to tack-weld or assemble the whole girder first.

09 CUTTING AND DRILLING

Cutting and drilling center

Proper scheduling of cuts and holes lets us meet every customer requirement on time, delivering structural shapes ready to erect with the highest quality and first-class finishes.

The high quality of the machine components and full process automation let us deliver cuts with absolute precision.

10 FINISHING

Shot blasting and painting

Proper scheduling of shot blasting and painting lets us meet every customer requirement on time, delivering structural shapes ready to erect with first-class finishes.

Shot blasting is a surface cleaning method that uses high-velocity impact to reach an excellent degree of cleanliness and a correct surface profile: it removes contaminants, improves the adhesion of any coating or paint and gives the piece an excellent visual appearance.
