Skid building is a modular process skids system that is contained within an exterior frame, enabling the processing system to be transported and used with ease.

Using modular skid systems brings many benefits, resulting in shorter conversion time and minimum intervention to the production system. Let’s take a look at some of the key advantages of implementing modular skid systems.

Administrative Cost Savings

Significant administrative cost savings occur when a modular skid system is put in place. When all things add up – the amount of time administrating projects, placing orders with various suppliers, invoices, and buying new equipment – implementing one modular skid system brings an ‘all-in-one’ package that delivers on its value with ease.

Time Saver

With a modular skid system in place, the workforce can focus their time or the most important thing – creating high-quality products. Other methods such as a stick-built method ultimately requires a construction team to assemble the structure piece by piece, which is both costly and time-consuming. A modular skid system in-built to specific requirements and savings in time by using this process can be monumental to the overall output of the production process.

Quality Control

A modular skid process offers a high level of quality control given that it’s manufactured by one company i.e. the processing system arrives fully built to specific needs, ready for installation. The modular unit fabrication, therefore, is responsible for any errors that may be found and can amend any system errors with ease.

Mobility Made Easy

One of the greatest advantages of using a modular skid system is its ease of mobility. The system is explicitly designed to be 100% mobile and can be easily moved around a facility, as well as between facilities if needed. A more traditional system, such as a stick-built system, has to be dismantled in the event of a facility moving location or simply left behind.

Increase the Level of Safety

The less time contractors spend on-site, the lower the risk and exposure to potential safety incidents. Additionally, implementing a modular skid system eliminates assembly activities that would be required with a traditional system, such as working at heights and welding.

Skid systems bring significant advantages to the majority of process systems. Shorter timelines, time and money savings, smaller footprint inside the facility, increased mobility and future versatility are just some of the benefits. Skid systems are the systems of the future. They make sense, from both an ergonomic and a functionality standpoint.
