Engineering, Virtual Design, & Construction

Successful projects begin with intelligent design.

UPI integrates state-of-the-art virtual design and engineering workflows to eliminate spatial conflicts before fabrication begins. Our 3D laser scanning captures absolute physical coordinates of existing structures to guarantee millimeters of tolerance.

Through Stratus and model-to-fabrication processes, BIM models flow directly into our automated manufacturing facility, achieving seamless design-assist and design-build delivery metrics.

Advanced Fabrication

Sophisticated mechanical systems demand precision before they ever arrive on site.

Our highly controlled fabrication facility specializes in mass production of process piping, multi-trade utility racks, and complete modular mechanical skids. By moving labor off-site into a specialized environment, we compress construction schedules and dramatically elevate QA/QC traceability.

Every weld and connection is cataloged and fully documented, ensuring rapid field integration with zero hot-work disruptions.
