Q. Define the skid fabrication?
Unless noted otherwise in this specification, skid fabrication shall be in accordance with GS-904-0510, GS-904-0511 and GS-904-0515.
Dimensional tolerances shall be within 6mm for overall skid dimensions. Other tolerances shall be as per specification GS-904-0509, GS-904-0510 and GS-904-0520.
Skid mounted assemblies, including piping, guards, ladders, platforms and railings, shall be erected prior to coating.

Skids shall have vertical jacking screws along outside of main longitudinal members at pile locations when more than two skids are to be installed adjacent to each other.
Elevated platform decks and walkways shall be open steel serrated bar grating and shall be bolted in place for easy removal and cleaning.
All piping, valves and equipment shall be supported and anchored to avoid undue stresses and vibrations during shipment, as well as during normal operation. Supports shall be seal welded.
