United Construction is proud to share a major milestone at our 1050 Waltham Way project, all slab on grade work is now complete!

The project team achieved a remarkable feat during the week of July 4th, completing four slab pours over four consecutive days (June 30th to July 3rd). Bonanno Concrete and CMC Rebar successfully executed nine slab pours, covering +315,000 square feet of 7” thick concrete slab on grade totaling over 7,100 cubic yards of concrete placed at the project slab on grade. Due to value engineering work and the outstanding performance of SNC, Bonanno Concrete, CMC Rebar and the United Construction team, the project is currently ahead of schedule.

53 wall panels have been formed, and 34 wall panels are fully reinforced and ready for ledger installation; once the C-Channel ledgers are installed, wall panel concrete pours will commence. Starting date for wall panel tilt is anticipated to be on or near August 18th, with a contractual final completion date for the entire building in May 2026.

“This achievement reflects our approach to every United Construction project leveraging United Construction’s culture of collaboration, innovation and efficiency, and is a testament to our responsible stewardship of our customer’s investment” said Michael Whittaker, United Construction President.

Our heartfelt thank you goes out to Bonanno Concrete, CMC Rebar, SNC and the exceptional United Construction team – Nick Crawford, Justin Brunner, Leman Jones, Cortney Roman, Monica Hunt and Erin Baynard – for all their dedication and hard work on the project.

We are grateful for the opportunity to contribute to projects that support our customers’ growth, and the Hamilton Clean Room was no exception.

A huge thank you to Brian Slenker at Hamilton Company for his kind words:

“United Construction brought knowledge, experience, integrity, and a proven track record to our project. They were able to come up with out-of-the-box solutions for several different challenges the project presented. The project superintendent’s insight and experience on large tilt-up jobs was a key reason for the project finishing on time and under budget. The leadership of the Hamilton Company is quite pleased with the results that United Construction has brought to our campus. We have the utmost respect and trust in United Construction and will continue to utilize them for many future projects.”

We’re honored to have earned Hamilton Company’s trust and to have played a role in their continued success.

The Hamilton Clean Room Project was a remarkable undertaking, consisting of a 3-story, 64,916-square-foot concrete tilt-up and steel-framed structure. The first floor houses a state-of-the-art clean room with injection molding machines and packaging automation for medical-grade pipette tips—an essential addition to Hamilton’s advanced manufacturing capabilities.

We look forward to continuing our strong partnership with Hamilton Company for years to come!

Stellar Aviation’s campus vision is becoming a reality at Reno-Tahoe International Airport. We’re thrilled to share the latest video footage from our Stellar Aviation project at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport! The first phase includes a 5,000-square-foot stand-alone FBO terminal building and 30,000-square-foot Hangar with a 5,000-square-foot attached office is reaching its final stages, with an anticipated completion date set for February 2024.

Big day at Stellar Aviation as we set the main truss across the front of the hangar today. This truss measures 250’ long by 9’ tall weighing in at 95,000 lbs with rigging. Due to the length of the truss this had to be set using two cranes qualifying this as a critical pick. Everything went smoothly during the erection and fit-up, we spent a great deal of time planning every step of the process which led to the success of this critical pick.  The next few days we will have a crane onsite setting the balance of the smaller roof trusses that make up the balance of the roof structure.

 

Thank you to The Metal Company, Elite Safety, Freedom Crane, Harlee, Dylan and the rest of the United Team who took part in the planning of today’s lift.

On 3/6/23 United Construction obtained the Certificate of Occupancy for the Hamilton Company Clean Room Project located on Edison Way. The Hamilton Company Clean Room Project consisted of a 3-story, 64,916 square-foot concrete tilt-up and steel framed structure with a state-of-the-art clean room located on the first floor. The building will include injection molding machines and packaging automation for medical-grade pipette tips. The capital investment for the building and equipment signifies Hamilton Company’s continued and significant investment in northern Nevada.

The Hamilton Company Clean Room Project was managed by a fantastic team of United Construction professionals that delivered the project under budget and on schedule. Construction of the project was led by Superintendent Nick Crawford and Assistant Superintendent Justin Brunner, Project Manager Robert Felstead, Project Engineer Harlee Annis, Project Administrator Yajaira Medina, Accounts Payable Ariel Mooney, and Preconstruction Project Manager Zach Caron. The Hamilton Company project representative was Brian Slenker who helped lead the project to a successful delivery.

Nick Crawford discloses “This project started with the razing of two older buildings at the site, then the construction of a new 3-story building on a tight land-locked site with an existing drainage channel running beneath it. There were numerous logistical challenges on this site, including lifting 90-ton concrete wall panels with a 330-ton crane on a very tight site, none of which would have been made possible without the great work of our United Construction Team and our local engineers, designers, and subcontractors”.

Michael Russell United Construction CEO adds “Congratulations to our team for obtaining the Certificate of Occupancy for the Hamilton Company Clean Room project! The new 3-story high-tech facility will support and enhance Hamilton’s development, manufacturing, and customization of precision measurement devices, automated liquid handling workstations, and sample management systems business. We are honored and proud to have been selected by Hamilton Company for this important design-build commission, and to deliver this project with Hamilton Company as our third major project working together, previously completing several other site improvements, building, and tenant improvement projects on Hamilton’s campus over the last 10 years. Thank you Hamilton Company for selecting United Construction for this amazing project, and the United Construction project team for achieving this huge project milestone.”
