Steel structures

ONIX fabricates and erects structural steel with its own crew and equipment. Scope runs from shop detailing through to erection and handover, plumbed and torqued, with the welding traceability the code requires.

Scope

What it covers

Scope is tuned to each project. This is what ONIX normally executes within this service.

  • Shop detailing and fabrication

    Shop drawings from the engineering package, plus cutting, fit-up and welding of columns, beams, trusses and purlins.

  • Surface preparation and coating

    Mechanical cleaning, primer and finish coat matched to the service environment of the structure.

  • Transport and lifting

    Delivery of members to site and crane erection, including the lift sequence and temporary bracing.

  • Erection and alignment

    Base plates leveled, columns plumbed, bolts torqued and field welds inspected.

Frequently asked questions

Does ONIX fabricate and erect, or only one of the two?

Both. You can contract the full scope — shop fabrication plus field erection — or erection alone if the steel is already fabricated.

Which code applies to the structural welding?

AWS D1.1 for structural welding and AISC for design. Procedures are qualified before fabrication starts.

What do you need to quote?

Drawings, if they exist, or site photos with approximate dimensions, the location and the schedule. That is enough to estimate tonnage, which is what drives the price.

Is there a minimum tonnage?

No. Scope ranges from single support structures and mezzanines to complete industrial buildings; what moves the price is tonnage and erection conditions, not contract size.

Does the crew travel to site?

Yes. The field crew and lifting equipment mobilize anywhere in Venezuela, and that mobilization is included in the quote.

How long does a job take?

It depends on tonnage and erection sequence. The schedule is committed when scope closes, with shop fabrication dates and field erection dates quoted separately.
