Why us

Why choose us for metering & manifold skid design

Whether you are a fabricator racing a shop schedule, an EPC contractor managing multiple disciplines or an owner needing an independent check, our metering & manifold skid design team works as an extension of yours. Every deliverable passes a two-stage check by senior engineers before it leaves our office.

Who we work with

Four kinds of client buy metering & manifold skid design from us

The scope looks similar on paper. What each buyer actually needs from it does not — so the engagement is shaped around it.

Steel & equipment fabricators

Shop loaded, schedule fixed, no spare detailing capacity in house.

What you get

A single coordinated package: structure, piping and vessel drawings that fit together in the shop instead of being reconciled on the floor.

EPC & engineering contractors

Multi-discipline scope, moving client revisions, hard contractual dates.

What you get

One partner accountable for the whole skid, so interface clashes between vendor disciplines stop landing on your project team.

Consultants & design offices

Work won beyond current capacity, delivered under your own stamp.

What you get

Multi-discipline capacity you can wrap in your own review, delivered as one coherent package rather than four disconnected scopes.

Owners & operators

Plant modifications, life extension and independent verification.

What you get

A skid designed around how it is lifted, installed, operated and maintained at your site — not just one that works on paper.

How we deliver

From your drawings to issued-for-construction, in five steps

The same engagement runs every metering & manifold skid design project, whether it is a single package or a multi-year frame agreement — so you always know what happens next and who owns it.

  1. 01

    Share your inputs

    Day 0 · NDA on request

    Send what you already have — process datasheet and P&ID, equipment list, available footprint and transport envelope, site environmental data and lifting/installation philosophy. Incomplete inputs are fine; we list the gaps rather than guess at them.

  2. 02

    Fixed quote in 24 hours

    Within 24 hours

    A senior engineer reviews the package and returns a priced proposal with scope, assumptions, exclusions and a milestone plan for your metering & manifold skid design. No obligation, no placeholder pricing.

  3. 03

    Model & engineer on PV-Elite

    Licensed PV-Elite + CADWorx

    The whole package is engineered as one model — vessel, piping, structure and lifting — so stress, structural and mechanical results converge before anything is drawn: skid frame in STAAD.Pro, piping in CADWorx and CAESAR II, vessels in PV-Elite.

  4. 04

    Two-stage senior check

    Checker → senior approval

    Nothing leaves our office on one pair of eyes. An independent checker verifies the technical content, then a senior engineer approves it against ASME Sec VIII / ASME B31.3 and your project specification.

  5. 05

    Issue, revise, close out

    6 deliverable types

    You receive a single coordinated release: package GA, structural and vessel drawings, piping isometrics, lifting and transport calculations, foundation loads and a package-level BOM. Comments are closed within two revision cycles, and RFIs raised during fabrication or construction are answered inside 48 hours.

Scope matrix

Exactly what a metering & manifold skid design package covers

No vague scopes and no surprise variations. This is what sits inside the base price, what you can bolt on, and what we need from you to start.

Engagement & pricing

Four ways to buy the same engineering

Pick the commercial model that matches how your metering & manifold skid design work arrives — one-off package, measurable units, or continuous capacity.

Fixed lump sum

one price, whole scope

Best for

Defined metering & manifold skid design packages where the inputs are frozen and you need budget certainty before you commit.

Scope, assumptions and exclusions written into the proposal, so variations are visible rather than invoiced quietly.

Typical turnaroundQuoted in 24 hours, milestones agreed at kick-off

Per-package rate

Most used

per skid package

Best for

Packagers quoting a complete skid where one number covering all disciplines is simplest.

One price covering mechanical, piping, structural and lifting scope.

Typical turnaroundSmall packages 3–4 weeks; complex multi-equipment skids 8–12 weeks

Per-discipline rate

per discipline scope

Best for

Buying only the discipline you are short of — stress, structural or vessel design.

Lets you keep part of the package in house and outsource the gap.

Typical turnaroundSingle-discipline scopes typically 1–3 weeks

Dedicated engineer

per engineer month

Best for

Continuous workload, frame agreements and clients who want a named engineer who learns their standards and stays on the account.

Your engineer works on licensed PV-Elite inside your workflow, reporting to your lead as an extension of your team.

Typical turnaroundEngineer allocated within 5 working days, with overlap hours in your timezone

Quality assurance

Two senior checks before anything reaches you

Every metering & manifold skid design deliverable is checked by an engineer who did not produce it, then approved by a senior engineer who signs it by name.

Senior check stages before any issue

Licensed software — no cracked tools, ever
  1. Stage 1

    Independent discipline check

    Checked by an engineer who did not produce the work

    The checker rebuilds the critical numbers rather than reading along with them, marking up every sheet of the metering & manifold skid design package against the inputs.

    • Equipment, line and instrument tags reconciled against the P&ID and equipment list
    • Vessel, piping and structural calculations each checked independently to their own code
    • Nozzle loads, support reactions and skid-frame reactions traced across discipline boundaries
    • GA dimensions, footprint and transport envelope verified against the stated constraints
  2. Stage 2

    Senior engineer approval

    Approved by name against ASME Sec VIII, ASME B31.3, AISC 360

    The approving engineer looks past compliance at whether the solution is buildable, economical and right for how the asset will actually be used.

    • Cross-discipline interface review — one senior engineer owns the whole package, not one discipline
    • Lifting, centre of gravity, transport fastening and installation sequence reviewed end to end
    • Operability and maintenance access checked against real plant practice
    • Weight report, foundation loads and BOM reconciled with the final model state before issue

    Only then is the package released — with the checker and approver recorded against the revision.
