Abstract: Petroleum Industries both on shore and offshores have emerged as the vital part of any nations industrial and economical development. Also it has evolved through numerous engineering and technological innovative development. One of the important aspect among it has been the pipe rack structures. Since a decade or more the modularization of pipe rack structure is gaining massive importance due to various virtues involved. This paper shall explore some imperative procedures involved in modularization, its requirement and the industrial practices followed. Also it shall explain some merits and demerits of modular structure compared to conventional stick built structure..
