SKID AND MODULE FABRICATION FOR OIL & GAS
Skids and modules let an oil and gas project move work off the job site and into the shop, where equipment, piping, and structure are assembled and tested as a unit before they ship. JMC Fabrication builds pump skids, equipment packages, and structural sub-bases with their piping integrated, then delivers them ready to set and connect.
For EPC buyers, the appeal is the same as shop spools, taken a step further: more scope completed and documented in a controlled environment, and less assembly exposed to field constraints.

Field assembly is the expensive, schedule-risky part of an oil and gas package. Skids and modules pull structure, piping, and equipment mounting into the shop, where work is faster, easier to inspect, and simpler to document. The finished unit arrives as a single deliverable that sets in place and ties in, rather than a pile of parts assembled on site.
That shift compresses the field schedule, reduces site labor and its exposure to weather and congestion, and concentrates the documentation into one controlled build. On a tight or remote site, the economics favor moving as much scope as possible into the shop.
JMC's skid and module scope for oil and gas includes:
- Pump skids with integrated process piping
- Equipment packages and process equipment sub-bases
- Structural supports and skid frames in carbon steel
- Piping assemblies in carbon (A53, A106) and 304/316 stainless steel
- Custom weldments and specialty fittings within the package
JMC's single-building model keeps each stage connected so the package moves without vendor handoffs:
- Drawing and model review: Engineering reviews the customer package, flags fabricability issues, and coordinates the structure, piping, and equipment interfaces before production starts.
- Structure and piping fabrication: The skid frame and integrated piping are fabricated to specification by AWS certified welders, with material selected for the service conditions.
- Documentation in parallel: Material test reports, weld maps, NDE per specification, and weld logs are built during the work, not reconstructed after.
- Delivery as a unit: The completed skid or module ships as a single deliverable with its closeout package, ready to set and tie in.
Skids and modules carry the same documentation expectations as the piping inside them. Every JMC package includes material test reports and mill certifications per heat, weld maps and weld logs, NDE records per specification, and a project closeout package, with traceability from raw material through the delivered unit.
Because the whole assembly is built and documented in one shop, the turnover package is consistent and complete rather than stitched together from multiple suppliers.
Does JMC fabricate pump skids and equipment modules?
Yes. JMC fabricates pump skids, equipment packages, and structural sub-bases with integrated piping for oil and gas projects, delivered as a single unit ready to set and connect.
What materials does JMC use for skid piping and structure?
JMC fabricates skid structure in carbon steel and the integrated piping in carbon (ASTM A53, A106) or 304/316 stainless steel, with material selected for the service conditions. Contact us to confirm grades for your specification.
Why fabricate skids in the shop instead of assembling on site?
Shop fabrication of skids and modules compresses the field schedule, reduces site labor and its exposure to field constraints, and concentrates inspection and documentation in a controlled environment, which lowers project risk.
Is JMC's skid and module welding certified?
Yes. Skid structure and piping are welded by AWS certified welders to qualified procedures, fabricated per the code requirements specified in the project scope.
What documentation comes with a skid or module package?
Each package includes material test reports and mill certifications per heat, weld maps and weld logs, NDE records per specification, and a project closeout package, with traceability from raw material to the delivered unit.
