What Is a Valve Skid Package?

A valve skid package is a pre-assembled, pre-tested unit containing valves, actuators, pipework, and control instrumentation mounted on a single structural frame. Designed, built, and tested in a workshop, it arrives on site ready for connection, reducing installation time, on-site fabrication risk, and complexity across any process control application.

What a valve skid package typically includes:

• Isolation and control valves sized to the process conditions
• Actuators (pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic) with solenoids and limit switches
• Interconnecting pipework, fittings, and instrumentation mounted on the skid frame
• A control panel integrated into the skid or supplied separately
• Full workshop assembly, pressure testing, and Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT) before delivery to site

Building a custom control valve skid in our workshop

Complex valve skids made easy

You might need a relocatable valve skid for underground mine dewatering or bore headworks. Or for fire deluge, filtration, metering, or any number of applications. Whatever the process control scenario, skids are a maze of integrated valves, actuators, pipework, and instrumentation.

No matter how complex the scenario, we’ll work with you to scope, design, build, test and deliver your skid. It’ll be ready to hook up and use straight away. If you need support during installation and commissioning, our experts are just a call away.

Plug-and-play valve control panels

All your valves, actuators, and pneumatic, hydraulic, and electric systems. All hooked up to one control panel. Easier said than done, but it’s what we do every day.

We’ll discuss, scope, and develop a solution with you, ensuring your control panel does everything you need it to. Our workshop team will then design, build, and test your control panel, ready for delivery and plug-and-play installation on-site.

Why choose us? We’ve got you covered from design to delivery

We understand the demanding conditions and applications you deal with. We understand the technical challenges, process controls and systems inside out. And we understand how to ensure they all work together where it matters most—in your plant. So you can get on with the job.

How our valve skid and control panel process works:

1. Tell us what you need

Discuss your application with our experts. We’ll work through the technical and operational details with you.

2. Choose the right solution

We design and spec every aspect, present it to you for review, finalise the design, and get your sign-off.

3. Get the job done

We build it in our workshop. Then, your new equipment arrives on site. Tested and ready to go, so you can connect it up and get on with the job.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a valve skid and a valve control panel?

A valve skid is a structural frame holding the full piping and valve assembly. A control panel is the electrical or pneumatic interface for operating those valves. BPE supplies both separately or integrated as a single skid-mounted unit, assembled and tested in our Perth workshop before delivery. 

Can BPE supply valve skid packages for remote mine sites?

Yes. BPE designs, assembles, and tests every skid in our Perth workshop before delivery. The plug-and-play approach reduces on-site fabrication and specialist labour at remote locations. We supply skids to mine sites across WA and interstate, including Pilbara iron ore operations, Goldfields gold mines, and lithium processing plants. 

What types of valves are used in a mining valve skid?

Mining valve skids typically use knife gate valves for slurry isolation duty and pinch valves where the media is also corrosive. Actuated ball valves suit clean-water and reagent service. The valve selection depends on the process fluid, operating pressure, cycle frequency, and whether the valve needs to fail open or fail closed.
