Bring Process Equipment Together in an Installation-Ready Arrangement
AES provides custom skid and assembly fabrication for analytical, sampling, and related industrial applications. A defined package can bring structural supports, instruments, valves, tubing, and electrical components together before the equipment reaches the field.

What It Is
What Is a Custom Skid?
A skid is a structural base that supports equipment as a coordinated assembly.
Depending on the design, it can carry:
Capabilities
Custom Skid and Assembly Capabilities
Four parts of a skid package, from the structure to delivery preparation.
Structural Fabrication and Equipment Mounting
Fabrication follows the approved dimensions, material requirements, and mounting details. Equipment placement considers service access, connection routing, and the space needed for installation and inspection.
Mechanical and Instrument Assembly
Specified valves, regulators, instruments, and other components can be mounted and connected as part of the package. Tubing arrangements follow the design requirements and the intended gas or fluid service.
Electrical and Utility Integration
Where included, the assembly can incorporate specified electrical components, wiring, and utility interfaces. Defining package boundaries makes it easier to identify what remains for the field installation team.
Inspection and Delivery Preparation
Agreed inspection and test activities can be completed before shipment. Handling provisions, shipping dimensions, loose-shipped items, and delivery documentation should be established during project planning.
Your Design
Built Around Your Design and Installation Constraints
Provide general arrangement drawings, equipment data, material specifications, connection details, and the bill of materials. Where lifting design or structural calculations are required, identify the responsible engineering party and approval requirements before fabrication.
Prototype and repeat-build projects benefit from controlled drawings and clear revision handling. A documented first build can help establish the assembly standard for later units without assuming every subsequent package is identical.

Why AES
Why Choose AES for Custom Assemblies?
AES connects the supporting structure with the instruments and sample handling equipment it carries. Customers can define a focused build-to-print assignment or a broader package that includes component sourcing, assembly, and specified testing.

Can AES fabricate a skid using our equipment?
Yes. Customer-supplied equipment can be incorporated when its dimensions, mounting details, connection requirements, and delivery timing are available for fabrication planning.
Can a skid reduce work at the installation site?
Preassembly can move defined mounting and connection activities into the shop. The actual field-work reduction depends on shipping limits, the package boundaries, and the connections that must still be made onsite.
Can AES support repeat skid builds?
Repeat-build work can be scoped around approved documentation and agreed inspection requirements. Quantities, component availability, design revisions, and delivery sequencing should be confirmed for each program.
