Advice on Shipping Process Skids If mishandled, shipping can be the most expensive part of a process skid design and fabrication project. In the worst-case scenario, expensive equipment can be damaged during the process, but poor logistical planning can also lead to many unnecessary costs. From the moment we begin designing a project, shipping is integral to project planning. For example, most modules that travel by truck are constrained to a width of 14 feet and a height of 12 to 14 feet. Shipping containers, boats, and cargo planes have different dimensions that we would explore during the design phase. Knowing these dimensions will affect how we layout the project. Keeping costs down during shipping is really about following shipping best practices and working with vetted shipping partners that ensure safety, efficiency, and professionalism. You can find dozens of examples of successfully delivered process skids on EPIC’s process skids design/build page. As a turnkey process skid design firm, we coordinate shipping for you and follow the best practices below: Establishing module shipping methods and dimensions early in the design process. Design considerations to review are: Width and height of fabrication space, final installation space, and any doors process skids have […]
