Age Steel® provides specialized fabrication services for steel platforms and skids engineered to support industrial equipment, process systems, and operational access requirements. Our fabrication approach emphasizes robustness, accuracy, and integration with mechanical and electrical components, ensuring each platform or skid is manufactured to perform reliably throughout its service life.
Our facilities are equipped to fabricate a wide range of steel platforms and skids, including: - Equipment support platforms and structural access decks - Modular steel skids for packaged units and process equipment - Base frames designed for concentrated and dynamic loads - Support structures for piping, cable trays, and auxiliary systems
Each fabrication scope is tailored to project-specific loading, layout, and operational constraints.
Fabrication is executed based on fully developed shop drawings prepared from approved project documents. Particular attention is given to constructability, tolerances, and repeatability for modular skid systems.
Production detailing includes: - Member cutting schedules and assembly sequencing - Interface points for equipment, anchors, and embeds - Weld types, bolt specifications, and inspection hold points
Steel platforms and skids are produced using controlled fabrication processes to ensure consistency and traceability.
Manufacturing activities include: - Precision cutting and machining of structural members - Assembly of frames, supports, and stiffening elements - Structural welding performed by qualified personnel - In-process dimensional checks and alignment verification
Platforms and skids are fabricated with defined interfaces to accommodate equipment installation, transportation, and site integration.
Interface considerations include: - Equipment mounting points and base plate alignment - Lifting lugs and handling provisions - Transportation and modularization requirements
Surface preparation is carried out in accordance with project specifications to ensure compatibility with the selected protective coating system and operating environment.
Age Steel® steel platforms and skids are commonly supplied for: - Process units and packaged equipment - Pumping and mechanical systems - Industrial access and maintenance structures - Utility and plant infrastructure
Fabrication activities are governed by a structured quality management system. Inspections and checks are implemented at each stage of fabrication to verify materials, workmanship, and dimensional compliance prior to release.
