Skid Fabrication Capabilities

Custom Design and Engineering

Every skid begins with a comprehensive design process to ensure the final product meets operational goals:

Detailed Drawings: Full 3D and 2D drawings, including piping, electrical, and structural layouts.
Design Review Process: Customer approval of all design elements before fabrication begins.
Flexibility: Skids designed for single or multi-purpose applications, including measurement, injection, and production processes.
Integration Ready: Meters, analyzers, valves, and instrumentation integrated for immediate operational readiness.

Material Selection and Construction

Circle B uses premium materials and construction techniques to ensure durability and performance:

ASTM-certified steel and piping for long-term reliability
Painted or galvanized finishes for environmental protection
Structural supports designed for both static and dynamic loads during transport and operation
Third-party inspections and PE stamping capabilities for compliance with state and federal requirements

Welding and Fabrication Expertise

All Circle B skids are constructed by highly skilled, certified welders, including:

AWS D1.1 certified welders for structural steel and stainless steel applications
ASME Section IX experienced welders for piping and measurement system integration
NDE (non-destructive examination) capabilities to verify weld quality and integrity
In-house AWS CWI (Certified Welding Inspector) oversight to ensure compliance with fabrication standards

Turnkey System Integration

Circle B skid fabrication extends beyond structural construction to complete system integration, including:

Flow Measurement Systems: Incorporating Coriolis meters, ultrasonic meters, and orifice meters for accurate flow measurement.
Gas Analysis Integration: Skids equipped with gas chromatographs, O2 analyzers, H2S analyzers, and moisture analyzers.
Control and Monitoring: Flow computers, SCADA interfaces, and MVS systems installed and wired for immediate use.
Ancillary Equipment: Regulators, pumps, and injection systems fully integrated with piping and instrumentation.

Testing and Quality Assurance

Every skid undergoes rigorous testing and inspection to ensure operational reliability:

Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) for electrical, instrumentation, and control systems
Pressure testing and leak verification for piping and measurement systems
Functional testing of meters, analyzers, and control valves
Compliance with API, ASME, and customer-specific standards

These measures ensure that every skid shipped from Circle B is ready for immediate deployment and operation.

Applications for Skid Fabrication

Circle B skid solutions are used in a variety of industrial contexts:

Measurement Skids: Fully integrated skids for flow measurement, custody transfer, and process verification.
Gas Lift Skids: Designed to inject gas into production wells to optimize recovery.
Injection Skids: Metered chemical or gas injection systems for upstream and midstream operations.
Meter Stations: Complete measurement stations integrated on a skid for rapid field deployment.
Regulator Stations: Skid-mounted pressure control and regulation systems for pipelines.
Pump Skids: Integrated pumping systems for transfer or injection applications.
