At 3P Tech Serv, we deliver specialist skid mounted equipment engineering and modular process unit engineering services — providing manufacturers, OEMs, and EPCs with accurate, fully coordinated engineering packages that take modular equipment from concept through to fabrication-ready deliverables.
Skid Mounted Equipment Engineering
Our skid mounted equipment engineering services cover the full mechanical and structural engineering scope for skid-based process systems — from initial equipment arrangement and layout through to detailed mechanical design, nozzle orientation, and interface documentation. We work closely with process and piping engineers to ensure that equipment selection, orientation, and spacing decisions are made with fabrication, maintenance access, and transport constraints firmly in mind — delivering a skid package that is practical to build and straightforward to commission.
Packaged Equipment Design Engineering
Our packaged equipment design engineering services provide a complete, coordinated engineering package for self-contained process units — covering equipment design, piping arrangement, structural steelwork, instrumentation hook-up, and electrical routing within the skid envelope. Whether you are designing a separator package, a chemical dosing unit, a heat exchanger skid, or a compression package, we bring together all engineering disciplines into a single, well-documented deliverable that is ready for fabrication and third-party review.
Skid Layout Engineering Services
Our skid layout engineering services translate process requirements into practical, buildable equipment arrangements within the skid footprint. We develop equipment layout drawings, access and maintenance clearance checks, nozzle orientation plans, and general arrangement drawings — ensuring that every component fits within the structural envelope and that the skid can be safely fabricated, transported, and installed. Our layouts are produced in 2D and 3D CAD as required, and are fully coordinated with the structural and piping design.
Skid Structural Analysis Services
Our skid structural analysis services ensure that the steelwork frame supporting your process equipment is adequate for all design load cases — including equipment dead loads, piping loads, wind and seismic loads, dynamic loads from rotating equipment, and lifting and transport conditions. We perform structural analysis using SolidWorks and Inventor FEA tools, checking member stresses, deflections, and connection capacities against applicable codes — providing a fully documented structural design that supports fabrication and third-party certification.
Piping Stress Analysis for Skids
Piping on skid-mounted equipment presents unique stress analysis challenges — with short pipe runs, high equipment nozzle loads, and significant thermal and dynamic loading in a compact envelope. Our piping stress analysis for skids addresses these challenges directly, evaluating pipe stress against acceptable limits, assessing nozzle loads on connected equipment, and recommending support and flexibility solutions that work within the constraints of the skid layout. All analysis is performed in accordance with applicable piping codes and equipment nozzle load allowables.
Modular Process Unit Engineering
Our modular process unit engineering services support the design and engineering of larger, multi-skid process modules intended for offshore platforms, remote sites, or fast-track onshore projects where modular construction offers significant schedule and cost advantages. We provide the full engineering scope — from process module layout and structural design through to equipment engineering, piping design, and inter-module interface documentation — ensuring that each module is self-contained, fully coordinated, and ready for seamless integration on site.
Process Module Engineering Services
Our process module engineering services cover the detailed engineering of process modules from layout freeze through to issue for fabrication. Working as an extension of your in-house engineering team or as a standalone subcontractor, we deliver equipment drawings, piping isometrics, structural fabrication drawings, material take-off, and all supporting calculations — giving you a complete, coordinated package that your fabricator can work from directly with minimal clarification.
