Quick answer
Metering & Manifold Skid Design covers designing metering, manifold and remote-station skids with piping stress checks. Done properly, it follows ASME Sec VIII, ASME B31.3, AISC 360 and produces complete package ga that a fabricator or reviewer can use without rework. Structural Engineering Services delivers metering & manifold skid design to clients in 40+ countries with a senior-engineer review on every package.
What metering & manifold skid design actually includes
Metering & Manifold Skid Design is the discipline of designing metering, manifold and remote-station skids with piping stress checks. In practice a complete scope covers the full chain from design inputs to construction-ready output, not just a single drawing or calculation.
A typical metering & manifold skid design package from our team includes: complete package ga, vessel & piping design, skid structural analysis, tekla skid base detailing. Each deliverable is produced on licensed PV-Elite, CADWorx, CAESAR II, STAAD.Pro, Tekla Structures and passes an internal checker review before it reaches you.
How the work is delivered, step by step
Most engagements follow the same five-stage flow, whether the package is a single drawing or a multi-month frame agreement.
- Share inputs — design drawings, specifications and the project schedule.
- Free quote in 24 hours — fixed lump-sum, per-tonne, per-drawing or hourly.
- Model & engineer — built on PV-Elite to ASME Sec VIII.
- Review & approve — internal check, then your comments closed fast.
- Issue for construction — complete package ga and vessel & piping design issued with revision control.
Which codes and standards govern metering & manifold skid design
The governing standard depends on where your project is built. Our teams work daily to ASME Sec VIII, ASME B31.3, AISC 360, API RP 2A and to client specifications such as Shell DEPs and major operator standards.
Getting the code basis agreed at kick-off is the single most effective way to avoid late-stage rework — it fixes load combinations, material grades, tolerances and documentation format before modeling starts.
When you need it — and when you don't
You need professional metering & manifold skid design whenever the output feeds fabrication, regulatory review or a design-responsibility handover. Early concept sketches and feasibility studies can be lighter, but anything issued for construction should carry a checked, code-referenced package.
If you are unsure which level of detail your project needs, send us your inputs — a senior engineer will scope it honestly, even if that means telling you a smaller package will do.
