Specialty construction

Foundations, facility improvements, structural modifications and equipment-driven construction for technical environments.

URE combines construction experience with the practical requirements of industrial installation. That is especially valuable when foundations, structures, utilities and equipment must be sequenced as one system inside an active or technically controlled facility.

Common project scopes

  • Equipment foundations
  • Facility upgrades
  • Structural modifications
  • Tenant improvements
  • Seismic work
  • Design-build scopes

Equipment foundations and concrete

Concrete work designed and sequenced around equipment loads, anchorage and installation.

  • Equipment foundations and pads
  • Concrete slabs and housekeeping pads
  • Anchorage and embedded items

Facility improvements

Construction work that prepares, modifies or restores spaces for new equipment and operations.

  • Industrial facility improvements
  • Tenant improvements
  • Equipment access modifications

Structural and seismic work

Building and support modifications coordinated with field conditions and installation requirements.

  • Structural modifications
  • Seismic upgrades
  • Equipment anchorage and support

Multi-trade and design-build work

Construction scopes planned with steel, piping, rigging and equipment installation.

  • Design-build coordination
  • Multi-trade field execution
  • Equipment-driven construction

Southern California construction service area

Specialty construction for Southern California project sites.

URE performs equipment foundations, facility improvements, structural modifications and multi-trade construction across Los Angeles County, Orange County and the Inland Empire, with project coverage throughout Southern California. Work is planned around the equipment, facility conditions and final operating requirements.

Planning and execution

Build the site around the equipment and final use.

URE reviews loads, anchorage, access, utilities, structural conditions and installation sequencing so the construction work supports what follows in the field.

Define loads and field conditions

Confirm equipment requirements, existing structures, utilities, access, seismic criteria and the conditions that affect design and construction.

Coordinate trades and sequence

Plan demolition, concrete, steel, piping and equipment work around permits, inspections, facility access and the project schedule.

Build through installation readiness

Complete foundations, modifications and support work so the site is ready for equipment setting, connections and turnover.

Project fit

Questions before work begins.

What types of specialty construction does URE perform?

URE performs equipment foundations, facility improvements, structural modifications, seismic work and design-build scopes tied to technically demanding projects.

Can URE build foundations for new equipment?

Yes. URE can coordinate equipment loads, anchorage, concrete and installation requirements so the foundation is ready for final setting.

Can construction be coordinated with rigging and equipment installation?

Yes. URE can connect site modifications, foundations, steel, rigging and equipment installation under one project sequence.

Related capabilities

Construction planned around installation.

URE can coordinate concrete, structural steel, plumbing, rigging and equipment installation when the project depends on those scopes fitting together. That connection helps prevent access, anchorage and sequencing problems from reaching the field.
