More and more industrial companies are adopting modular skid systems to speed up installation, reduce on-site work, and increase operational flexibility. Custom skid packages—pre-assembled, fully tested units—offer a reliable and efficient way to integrate new functions into existing plants. NES applies its multidisciplinary engineering expertise to design tailored skid solutions that adapt to different industries, processes, and space constraints.

What Custom Skid Packages Are

A skid is a compact, pre-engineered module that brings together pumps, valves, piping, instruments, and control systems on a single structural frame. Designed for easy transportation and plug-and-play installation, skids ensure consistent quality while reducing field assembly work.

Types of Skid Packages Designed by NES

NES engineers a wide range of modular systems, including:

  • Pumping skids for liquid and gas transfer

  • Dosing skids for precise additive injection

  • Filtration skids for mechanical or chemical treatment

  • Heating & cooling modules for thermal conditioning

  • Chemical injection skids for pipeline and well applications

Each package is designed for high reliability, optimized performance, and seamless integration into plant operations.

The Advantages of NES Skid Solutions

Choosing NES skid packages ensures shorter installation times thanks to workshop pre-assembly and FAT testing. Their modular architecture offers flexibility, while quality is guaranteed by certified inspections and full compliance with API, ASME, and IEC standards. The compact design optimizes plant space and simplifies long-term maintenance.

NES’s Skid Engineering Process

Every project starts with a technical assessment and the definition of client requirements. NES uses 3D modeling and advanced simulation tools to design the skid, coordinating mechanical, electrical, and instrumentation engineering. After pre-assembly, each module undergoes complete FAT testing before being shipped, installed, and validated through SAT activities on site.

Case Study

NES delivered a compact dosing skid for a European chemical plant in just 12 weeks. Complete with certifications and successful FAT testing, the solution reduced commissioning time by 40%, improving operational efficiency and compliance.

Conclusion

Custom skid packages are an ideal choice for companies seeking speed, safety, and tailor-made performance. With NES, every skid becomes a “plant within the plant”—designed, assembled, and tested to deliver long-lasting reliability and optimized operations. See all ours services!
