United Construction Receives Certificate of Occupancy for Hamilton Clean Room Project

Shelby Cox — Wed, 08 Mar 2023 22:22:44 +0000

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.”

Southern Nevada jobsites continue to shape up

Shelby Cox — Fri, 25 Mar 2022 18:23:56 +0000

Crews are making great progress at the project site of our industrial 664,000-square-foot inventory facility in North Las Vegas. Superintendent Colton Brock is celebrating the fact that the pad subgrade is about 90% completed, and only 40,000 yards of export remain. Additionally, crushing for Type-II is currently taking place onsite.

Additionally, swift progress is afoot at our logistics project in Henderson. Our work on this project will initially consist of two logistics buildings (of a four-building project). Building 1 will be 330,000 square feet, and Building 2 will be 265,000 square feet. Under-slab utilities for those first two buildings have recently been completed, and according to Superintendent Kerry Brock, crews are beginning the tie-ins for the sanitary, storm, and water systems. Up next, the team will start digging footings.

Yard exports almost complete at site of planned North Las Vegas inventory facility

Shelby Cox — Tue, 08 Feb 2022 19:06:19 +0000

Work on the grounds of the planned 664,000-square-foot inventory facility in North Las Vegas continues onwards into the new year, reaching new milestones and exciting moves. According to Superintendent Colton Brock, crews have 150,000 yards of export remaining out of their 430,000-yard operation, with under-slab utilities set to be installed at the end of February. Concrete is also on the horizon soon.

Towards the end of last year, crews also commenced rock blasting to quickly and cost-effectively remove rock from the site, which helped them immensely with an efficient mass grading process.

Colton happily reported, “It’s nice to have seen this progress during and after the lengthy grading portion of this project!”

Check out the most recent drone flyover of the site of the industrial project here, some awe-striking footage of the rock blasting here, and photos below!

Hamilton Reactor Way hosts kids from Waldorf School for a site field trip

Shelby Cox — Wed, 08 Sep 2021 23:04:34 +0000

United Construction’s site crew at Hamilton Reactor Way welcomed 3rd and 4th graders from neighboring Nevada Sage Waldorf School this morning for a short, educational field trip.

Superintendent Chuck Brown first took the children through a visual timeline of the site’s construction milestones with several photos showcasing the project’s start to its near-finish. He then showed the children the different aspects of the site and explained them more in detail, from the pavement and trench to the pump and culvert. To finish off the trip, the kids put on a hard hat and high-vis vest, hopped into the seat of an excavator (under close and careful supervision) and each posed for a photo safely and with a smile.

We thank Chuck for sharing his wealth of knowledge with the children and teachers of Waldorf, and we also thank our subcontractor Sierra Nevada Construction for specially placing the excavator and other surrounding equipment for this fun purpose.

Dassault Falcon: The Finished Product

Shelby Cox — Sun, 01 Aug 2021 16:00:20 +0000

United Construction’s design-build work on the 10,978 sf, two-story expansion at Dassault Falcon on Rock Blvd is complete! The expansion, which sits on the Reno-Tahoe International Airport grounds, features a storage room for parts and equipment, break room, full locker rooms with bathrooms and showers, conference room, avionics work room, new stairways and a quality assurance room overlooking the main aviation work floor.

Dassault is a French based aircraft manufacturer of business and corporate jets. The United Construction design-build team also delivered the existing building used by Dassault. United delivered it in 1996 as an aircraft maintenance hangar for Reno Air.

We credit Superintendent Pete Brunner, Assistant Superintendent Justin Brunner, Project Manager Rob Felstead, Project Administrator Glady Robinette and Operations Manager Casey Gunther for managing this project to success.
