Steel solutionsfor industrialprojects

At ONIX, C.A. we develop integrated engineering, fabrication and erection solutions for steel structures, tanks and piping systems on industrial projects.

We bring the experience, technical capability and specialised personnel required to execute projects to international standards and codes.

  • Fabrication

    We carry out cutting, fitting, welding and coating application in our own workshop, using qualified procedures and the controls established for each project.

    See steel structures
  • Welding

    We prepare and qualify welding procedures —WPS, PQR and WPQ— in accordance with ASME Section IX and AWS D1.1, including qualification of the personnel executing the joints.

    See welding qualification
  • Erection

    We handle transport, rigging, installation, alignment and field welding with our own personnel, together with the nondestructive testing —UT, MT, PT, RT and VT— and inspection required.

capability

  • Nationwide coverage

    Execution throughout Venezuela

    We have the capability to mobilise personnel, equipment and technical resources for the execution of projects in different regions of the country. Logistical and operational planning is built into the scope of each project to ensure proper coordination of the resources its execution requires.

  • International engineering services

    Engineering and technical services delivered remotely

    Our structural engineering, welding procedure qualification and test analysis services can be delivered remotely, allowing us to serve the requirements of clients and projects outside Venezuela.
