In the ever-evolving industrial landscape, the demand for modular solutions has grown exponentially. Skid modules, also known as packaged units, offer a highly efficient and versatile approach to building process systems. At Little P.Eng., we take pride in delivering end-to-end engineering services for skid module design services, encompassing structural, mechanical (piping stress analysis), and electrical and instrumentation (E&I) engineering.
What Are Skid Modules?
Skid modules are pre-assembled, self-contained units designed to perform specific industrial processes. They are widely used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and power generation. These modules integrate multiple engineering disciplines into a compact, transportable frame, ensuring reduced construction time and seamless installation.
Little P.Eng.’s Expertise in Skid Module Design
1. Structural Engineering
Structural integrity is a cornerstone of skid module design. At Little P.Eng., our structural engineering team ensures that skid frames and supports are designed to withstand operational loads, transportation stresses, and environmental factors. Key aspects include:
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to assess stress distribution.
Design compliance with international standards such as ASCE, AISC, and API.
Material selection for strength, durability, and corrosion resistance.
2. Mechanical Engineering (Piping Stress Analysis)
Piping systems are critical components of skid modules. Our piping stress analysis services ensure that the system operates safely and efficiently under various conditions. Highlights of our approach include:
Analysis of thermal expansion, vibration, and dynamic loading.
Compliance with ASME B31.3, B31.4, and B31.8 codes.
Selection of supports, anchors, and expansion joints to optimize system performance.
Detailed isometric drawings for precise installation.
3. Electrical and Instrumentation (E&I) Engineering
Modern skid modules rely on sophisticated electrical and instrumentation systems for automation and monitoring. Our E&I engineering services cover:
Electrical design, including power distribution, grounding, and lighting.
Selection and integration of instrumentation such as sensors, transmitters, and control systems.
Compliance with IEC, NEC, and CSA standards.
Detailed wiring diagrams and control schematics to ensure seamless operation.
