Metals used in large machinery and vehicles must be tested, welded, and fabricated to withstand constant wear and tear and heat exposure, which requires precise knowledge. With a team of experienced engineers, United Technical provides nondestructive testing, welding, metallurgical and lab testing, and inspection services to its clients.

The Team

The engineers and technical team at United Technical are its biggest strength. Each professional is cross-trained in the core disciplines of structural steel projects, providing clients comprehensive technical and testing capabilities. The entire team has extensive knowledge and experience in understanding building codes, welding specifications, testing specifications, and inspection criteria for welding and fabrication.

“The expertise of our people gives us the ability to complete any steel project,” says Robert Dines, CEO of United Technical.

To provide individuals with the necessary welding, inspection, and testing expertise, United Technical built a million-dollar training center for custom corporate training, delivering a pipeline of efficient employees with comprehensive technical capabilities.

Technology Strength

In addition to investing in its people, United Technical heavily invests in the latest technology. United Technical uses the most advanced testing, inspection, and laboratory technologies to achieve minimal turnaround times and provide clients with accurate, datadriven results. Clients get the answers supported by the testing, every single time, even if it’s not the answer they wanted to see.

Specializing in Phased Array Ultrasonic Testing, United Technical inspects components post-manufacturing to determine if the part meets the customer’s specifications. This method allows the inspection of parts with complex geometries which are being used more and more often across all types of industries as designand manufacturing capabilities improve. Combined with the inhouse metallurgy lab, the firm provides accurate feedback and comprehensive data to support the results of every project.

The United Mentality

A partnership with a wind power company showcases United Technical’s prowess in welding. The power company discovered cracks in their machinery and could not determine the cause of the lesions. With its experienced team, United Technical conducted inspection and testing to investigate and determine the cause of the fractures. The firm then developed a new welding process for manufacturing the equipment that prevented further cracking.

Well-versed in testing, inspection, and welding procedures, the United Technical team supports clients through the process of identifying problems, determining the root cause and developing processes to prevent them in the future. The inspection crew, backed by metallurgists and welding engineers, possesses ample resources and the most modern technology to locate, resolve, repair and correct welding procedures.

“We invest in ourselves so we can provide a one-stop shop for laboratory testing, consulting, inspection, and training services,” says Dines. The profits made by the firm are invested in adopting new technology, bringing in new equipment, and building modern training facilities. By investing in modern technology and the hands-on expertise of its people, United Technical is well-positioned to provide complete solutions to every client.
