18,000-Ton On-Land Modular Skids in Nigeria: Pre-Fabricated Integration and Field Efficiency
Heavy steel skids are engineered to support complex networks of industrial pipelines and pressure vessels efficiently.
Project Overview
Located in Nigeria, this on-land modular skid facility provides processing infrastructure for local oil and gas extraction. Operating in remote areas presents logistical challenges. Managers must navigate unpaved terrain and a shortage of specialized on-site welding labor, which delays construction. Shijie addressed these hurdles with an integrated modular skid solution. Our engineers designed heavy-duty steel frameworks supporting dense configurations of industrial pipelines, vessels, and grating walkways. By maximizing factory pre-fabrication, we minimized complex field assembly. The skids were transported and installed using straightforward bolted connections. A heavy-duty anti-corrosion coating protects structures from the humid environment. Completing the installation 40 days early allowed operators to commence processing reliably.

High-Density Integration
Heavy steel skids are engineered to support complex networks of industrial pipelines and pressure vessels efficiently.
Factory Pre-Fabrication
Maximizing off-site manufacturing ensures quality control and reduces the dependency on skilled field welders.
Tropical Durability
An industrial-grade anti-corrosion coating system protects the framework from the high humidity typical of the region.
Streamlined Erection
Precision-engineered bolted connections enabled construction crews to assemble the modules steadily on prepared terrain.
Turning Site Challenges into Engineered Certainty
Proven technical interventions to keep your project on spec, on budget, and on schedule
Remote sites with unpaved roads complicate the transportation of large conventional building materials.
Designed modular skids that fit within standard transport dimensions, optimizing logistics across rugged terrain.
A lack of specialized on-site labor can compromise the quality of complex structural welding.
Shifted fabrication to the factory, allowing local teams to perform straightforward bolted assembly on-site.
Developing processing infrastructure in Nigeria requires practical engineering. Transporting materials over red dirt roads is difficult, and finding certified welders for field fabrication always delays our schedule. Shijie provided a modular skid solution that fit our site conditions. Walking across the grating walkways, you can see how efficiently pipelines and vessels are integrated into the steel frames. By completing the complex fabrication in their factory, they delivered modules our crews could simply bolt together. The anti-corrosion coating handles high humidity effectively. Finishing the installation 40 days early allowed our mechanical teams to integrate the systems steadily. They are a dependable industrial partner.
