Sheffield City Centre
City-centre erection runs to overnight and early-morning windows, with road closures agreed in advance. We plan the lift and traffic management with our own Appointed Person before mobilising.

Steel Erection in Sheffield.
Sheffield's city-centre regeneration and Lower Don Valley industrial sites need structural steel erected safely on tight, often live plots. We design, fabricate to BS EN 1090 and erect every frame with our own directly employed teams and lifting plant.

- Coded welders, BS EN ISO 9606: every structural weld made by an approval-tested welder, traceable on the documentation.
- ISO 9001 quality management: a quality system audited end to end, not a badge on a footer.
- CHAS Elite, SafeContractor & ConstructionLine Gold: the pre-qualification pack your procurement team lifts straight into a PQQ.
- GBP 10m public and GBP 10m employers liability: published figures, because your procurement team needs them on file.

Client reviews
"Having dealt with UIS for over six years, rarely have I come across a more pro-active company with a can-do attitude and a "nothing will beat us" culture. Within all aspects of the industry - Brass Balustrade, Stainless Steel Handrail, Bridges, Secondary Steel or plain and simple Portal Frames - their approach and attitude to delivering the same high quality project is always the same."
Start to finish
One team, from drawing to installed.
Sheffield erection runs from craned city-centre lifts on restricted plots to fast portal-frame erection in the Lower Don Valley. Because we fabricate what we erect, one team owns the steel from drawing to installed, and the aftercare that follows.
