Custom hoist beams, divider beams, rail brackets, pit ladders, and hoistway platforms - AWS-certified, fabricated in Hialeah, and coordinated to Otis, Kone, and TKE shop drawings so the elevator sub is never waiting on the metals sub.
Every piece is fabricated against the elevator vendor's shop drawings and the structural engineer of record's connection details, then dimensionally checked before it leaves Hialeah - so the elevator sub is never waiting on the metals sub.
W-shape single-run and multi-run hoist beams sized to the elevator vendor's load rating, bearing dimensions verified against the pocket layout, with cap plates and stiffeners as detailed on the engineer of record's drawings.
Divider beams and separator members between cars in multi-shaft groupings, coordinated so guide-rail brackets clear the finished car cab and elevator-vendor mounting holes line up on the first pass.
Guide-rail brackets fabricated to the elevator vendor's spacing, welded or bolted to embed plates, sized to transfer rail load into the concrete or CMU wall - the interface between structural steel and the elevator system.
Steel pit ladders to code height and side clearance, with wall mounts detailed for the shaft base and finish coordinated with the paint schedule - delivered ready to bolt in during the pit closeout.
Work platforms for elevator maintenance access, plus embed plates set before the pour with headed studs or deformed bar anchors - so the beam and rail bracket layout does not depend on field grinding.
Late elevator support steel stops the elevator installation cold. GCs, owners' reps, and developers vet more than price - here's what makes GOPELIA a low-risk pick for the elevator scope.
We read Otis, Kone, and TKE shop drawings before we cut steel. RFIs go out early, not on the day the crane is booked.
One accountable team from shop floor to final bolt-up. No handoff between a fabricator and a separate erector to coordinate or blame.
Material certs traceable to heat numbers, WPS/PQR for every process, welder qualification records, and stamped shop drawings - assembled as standard, not when an inspector flags it.
Fabrication is sequenced to the elevator sub's mobilization date, not to our shop's queue. Beams on site when the elevator sub needs them - not a week later.
Matcon Construction LLC, License CGC1530333, EMR 0.8. COIs and safety documentation ready for your prequalification package.
Line-itemed by material, fab labor, install labor, equipment, shop drawings, paint, and freight - the kind of number you can drop straight into a budget.
Elevator hoist beam welding requires documented qualification, not just skill. Every structural weld in our Hialeah shop is performed by AWS-certified welders, with the paper trail Miami-Dade's HVHZ demands - ready for submittal, special inspection, and owner QA programs.
Yes. We coordinate hoist-beam, divider-beam, and rail-bracket fabrication against elevator vendor shop drawings from Otis, Kone, and TKE. We review beam depths, bearing dimensions, load ratings, and layout deviations before we cut steel, and issue RFIs early so the elevator sub is not waiting on the metals sub during installation.
Yes. All structural welding in our Hialeah shop is performed by AWS-certified welders. Hoist beam and support steel is fabricated to the structural engineer of record's drawings, with weld size and placement matching what was calculated, and welder qualification records are maintained and available for special-inspection review.
Yes. Shop drawings are produced in-house, signed and sealed by our engineer of record, and packaged with material certifications, weld procedures, and HVHZ documentation as needed for Miami-Dade County structural approval and threshold-building special inspection.
Yes. GOPELIA is a self-perform fabricator and installer. Our own W-2 install crews mobilize across Miami-Dade and Broward, coordinate crane picks with the general contractor, and set beams to the elevator sub's layout before the hoistway is enclosed.
Send us the elevator vendor's shop drawings and the structural connection details. We'll turn around a line-itemed quote and lock in a fabrication schedule that matches the elevator sub's mobilization date.
