Meca Enterprises provides structural engineering services for modular skid frames used across process, energy, chemical, and manufacturing industries. Whether your skid is supporting mechanical equipment, electrical systems, pressure vessels, or multi-service process modules, we deliver structurally sound, code-compliant designs for transport, lifting, and in-service conditions.
We support original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), fabricators, and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms through every stage of the modular skid structural design — from load path validation to lifting lug design and foundation interface. Calculation packages can be provided with or without a stamp by a Professional Engineer (PE) upon request.
Structural Engineering Services Include
- Structural frame analysis per American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) or other applicable codes
- Load application including dead, live, dynamic, thermal, and process weight
- Localized load checks from vessels, tanks, piping, and motorized equipment
- Lifting lug design and frame stress evaluation during hoisting
- Transportation stress analysis for modular shipment
- Anchor bolt and baseplate checks for permanent installation
- Load path review and bracing requirements
- Foundation reaction calculations for piers, pads, or slabs
- Finite element analysis (FEA) for high-stress areas or custom geometries
Types of Skid Frames We Support
- Process equipment skids (pumps, compressors, filters, etc.)
- Power distribution skids (transformers, switchgear)
- Control & instrumentation skids
- Packaged utility systems (chemical injection, water treatment)
- Modular hydrogen, renewable natural gas (RNG), and power to gas (P2G) units
- Custom multi-module and transportable systems
What You Receive
- Structural calculation package (PDF)
- Optional PE stamp available upon request (additional fee may apply)
- Clear framing layout and connection detailing
- Load case summary and assumptions
- Anchor reaction loads for foundation use
- Responsive engineering coordination throughout the project
Design Considerations We Address
- Load combinations for lift, transport, and in-place use
- Point loads and uneven distribution from large process equipment
- Pipe racks or attachments integrated into the skid frame
- Frame deflection and vibration tolerances
- Thermal isolation or anchor stiffness where required
- Integration with other modular systems or building structures
