Bespoke Process Skid Design: Supporting Manufacturing Upgrades in Norfolk
We’re pleased to showcase a recent project completed for a manufacturing client, the structural design of a new process skid as part of a major facility upgrade.
At Odysea Engineering, we pride ourselves on being more than just "calculators." We are practical, fabrication-focused structural engineering consultants based at the Hethel Engineering Centre (NR14 8FB), serving clients across Norwich, Norfolk, and the wider UK.
The Engineering Challenge
For this project, the goal was to create a robust, integrated framework that could house complex machinery while being easy to transport and install. Our team delivered a comprehensive structural package in-house, focusing on:
Steelwork Design: Full compliance with Eurocode EN 1993-1-1 for maximum safety and efficiency.
Precision Connection Design: Detailed engineering for all primary and secondary elements, including steel connections and FEA (Finite Element Analysis) where required.
System Integration: We didn't just design a frame; we ensured the seamless layout of process pipework, electrical looms, and instrumentation.
Lifting & Transport Assessment: A full assessment was conducted to ensure the safe handling and transit of the skid, ensuring a "plug-and-play" installation on-site.
Practical Engineering for Real-World Fabrication
This project is a prime example of our "fabrication-first" approach. By using digital clash detection and focusing on how the steel is actually put together, we ensure that what we design on-screen fits perfectly on the factory floor.
Whether you are looking for a commercial structural engineer for a one-off modification or a civil engineering consultant for a large-scale facility upgrade, we provide independent, top-rated expertise right here in Norwich.
