Modular Fabrication for Energy and Industrial Projects
Process skids, racks, e-houses and utility modules
State Service Company is a modular fabrication contractor in Ingleside, Texas, building process skids, pipe rack modules, e-houses and utility modules at a 70-acre waterfront yard on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.
Completed modules load out by barge at full assembled height, with no over-the-road permits and no vertical restrictions.

Module Types
Process Skids and Modules
Single-system packages through multi-trade process modules on a structural frame.
Pipe Rack Modules
Pre-assembled racks carrying interconnecting pipe, cable tray and utilities, built to AISC.
E-Buildings and MCC
Electrical buildings wired and factory acceptance tested before shipment.
Utility and Process Modules
Pre-assembled units that move utility, compression and treating scope off the critical path.
Pipe Spool Fabrication
Carbon, stainless and alloy to ASME B31.3 and B31.8, with NDT and hydrotest records.
Loaded out at the water
A module built inland has to survive the trip. Every overpass and every state permit sets a ceiling on how tall and how wide it can be. A module built at the bulkhead ships at full assembled height.

| Route to Gulf of Mexico | 12 miles, no vertical restrictions |
| Oversize units | Transit offshore instead |
What Modular Delivery Takes Off Your Site
6,000 to 8,000People on your site
1,300People in Ingleside, none on your site
Those are people who never mobilize to the project location, never compete for space in an operating facility, and never appear on the site safety exposure count. The work also runs faster in the yard, because the crews are permanent, the stations are fixed and the inspections happen at ground level.
Engineering through installation, under one contract
State Service delivers engineering, procurement, construction and installation as a single scope, with material traceability from receipt through load-out via Smart Steel.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a process skid and a process module?
A process skid carries one system on a single structural frame: a pump package, a metering run or a chemical injection unit. A process module carries multiple systems, often across several levels, and integrates piping, structural steel, electrical and instrumentation into one shippable unit. The terms overlap in practice, and many buyers use skid for anything frame-mounted regardless of size.
How large a module can State Service build and ship?
Module size is governed by the barge envelope rather than by road limits, because units load out across the bulkhead directly onto the water. The barge envelope is 125 ft by 400 ft by 22 ft, with 16 ft minimum access water depth and no vertical restrictions on the 12-mile run to the Gulf of Mexico.
Does State Service handle engineering, or fabrication only?
Both. State Service delivers engineering, procurement, construction and installation under one contract, and also takes fabrication-only scope where the engineering is already complete or owner-furnished.
Where is the fabrication yard located?
919 Bishop Road, Ingleside, Texas 78362, on the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. Highway access is by FM 361 and the nearest airport is Aransas Pass Municipal Airport, 3 miles away.
How long has State Service been fabricating modules?
State Service Company was founded in 1976 and reaches 50 years of continuous operation in 2026.
