Our Capabilities

We cover all aspects of design, detail, manufacture, fabrication and installation.

“At UIS, we like to think we’re as solid as the Rotherham Minster itself—and trust us, that’s saying something! Just like our hometown, we’re built to last and up for any challenge, no matter how heavy the steel or tight the deadline.”

In-House Management for Efficiency and Control

A segmented approach with different contractors handling various stages of your project often leads to miscommunication and delays. UIS eliminates these risks by bringing all essential services under one roof:

  • Design
  • Detailing
  • Production
  • Fabrication
  • Installation

With every phase managed by UIS, you have a single point of accountability, meaning we maintain direct, consistent control from start to finish.

Our team’s streamlined approach allows us to handle complex requirements effectively, with a multi-disciplinary team seeing your project from every angle. With UIS, you’re working with a dedicated partner committed to precision, efficiency, and meeting project timelines.

Focus on Precision and Safety

The installation phase is where each prior step comes together, and it’s essential that this process is conducted smoothly to prevent unnecessary downtime or structural issues. UIS has refined its installation techniques to deliver structures safely and accurately. Our installation team is fully CHAS and Alcumus Safe Contractor accredited, ensuring that every project adheres to rigorous safety standards, reducing the risk of on-site incidents.

 From Design to Detailing

Each project begins with detailed planning, where our engineers work closely with you to translate specifications into practical, build-ready designs.

At UIS, our approach involves creating designs that work under real-world conditions and address structural needs.

Engineers consider load requirements, environmental exposure, and even fine aesthetic details that give your project distinction.

For example, if your project includes a high-load warehouse, our team focuses on optimizing structural parts to meet specific demands and confirming that components exposed to moisture or wear will last. By starting with careful, regulation-compliant plans, we help you avoid unexpected changes and cost adjustments later in the process.

“UIS’s in-house design ensures every part is crafted with real-world use in mind, from concept to final specs.”

Fabrication Quality That Exceeds Industry Standards

Fabrication requires both skilled craftsmanship and rigorous quality checks to meet demanding safety and performance standards. UIS implements thorough quality control, from production to final inspection, to catch any flaws without compromising the material.

  • Rigorous quality control includes detailed reviews and inspections for:
    • Dimensional accuracy
    • Weld strength
    • Load tolerance

Each piece performs exactly as needed. This is particularly essential for high-load structures, where even minor flaws can become costly issues down the line. With UIS’s approach, you can trust that each component will meet your specific demands, from installation through long-term use.

Comprehensive Machining and Manufacturing for Consistent Quality

Machining and manufacturing require more than shaping steel; each component’s precise role within the larger framework is taken into account. At UIS, CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machinery and specialized equipment allow us to deliver components with exacting tolerances and consistent quality.

Our machining team ensures not only accurate dimensions but also that each piece aligns with its structural purpose. For example, minor errors in machining can have major implications in complex builds, leading to misalignment or delays on-site. With UIS’s resources, you receive components built to the exact specifications needed for dependable, stable assembly.

Efficient Installation Aligned with Your Timeline

The final stage—installation—often carries tight time constraints. UIS’s installation team, experienced in working with every phase of the process, ensures that components are assembled with accuracy and efficiency. Familiarity with the project details allows our installers to prepare effectively, minimizing on-site adjustments and keeping your schedule intact.

Our team’s knowledge of each phase helps address potential challenges early. For projects with operational considerations, phased installations can be arranged to minimize disruptions. UIS’s installation crew arrives ready with the tools and methods needed to secure every joint, bolt, and measurement. This attention to detail reduces risks and keeps your project running on time.
