Turnkey plants, proven at handover.
Engineering, procurement and construction under one lump-sum contract, with performance guarantees that are tested before you take the keys.
Why it matters.
Output is what counts
A plant is judged by megawatts, gallons or throughput, not square feet. The contract should hold the builder to the performance you are financing.
Interfaces carry the risk
Most process and power projects run into trouble where engineering, equipment vendors and field crews meet. One EPC contractor owns every one of those interfaces.
Lenders need certainty
Project finance depends on a fixed price, a firm completion date and guarantees backed by liquidated damages. Lump-sum turnkey delivery provides all three.
How we deliver it.
- 01
Front-end engineering first
We complete enough engineering to fix the process design, major equipment list and site plan before committing to a lump-sum price.
- 02
Procurement on the critical path
Transformers, switchgear, pumps and process modules are bought early, expedited and inspected at the factory so they arrive tested and on time.
- 03
Construction by system
Field work is planned and turned over by system rather than by area, so each system can be checked and started up as soon as it is complete.
- 04
Mechanical completion
Every system is walked down, punch-listed and signed off against its checklist before commissioning starts, with no open items hidden in the handover.
- 05
Commissioning and performance testing
We energize, start up and run the plant, then prove the guaranteed output, efficiency and availability in witnessed performance tests.
What you receive.
Every engagement is scoped to the project. These are the core outputs owners can expect.
One price covering engineering, equipment, construction, commissioning and testing.
Guaranteed capacity, efficiency and availability, backed by liquidated damages in the contract.
Process, civil, structural, electrical and controls design, issued for construction and updated to as-built.
Checklists, test records and punch lists for every system, signed at mechanical completion.
Witnessed test results against each guarantee, the basis for substantial completion and final acceptance.
One contract for every unit, end to end.
A multi-unit hydropower rehabilitation suits EPC. One team engineers each rebuild, buys new turbines, generators and controls, refurbishes the powerhouse crane and returns each unit to the grid after testing. Because engineering, vendors and field crews share one schedule, a late generator shows up as float lost on the next unit’s outage, not as a surprise at the dam.

Questions owners ask us.
What does lump-sum turnkey mean in practice?
We agree one fixed price and one completion date for a working facility. Quantity growth, vendor coordination and field productivity risk sit with us, not with you.
How are performance guarantees tested?
Through performance tests agreed in the contract, run under defined conditions and witnessed by you and your engineer. If the plant falls short, we fix it or pay the agreed damages.
What is the difference between mechanical completion and substantial completion?
Mechanical completion means a system is built, tested and ready to start. Substantial completion follows commissioning and successful performance testing, when the plant is ready to operate.
Do you deliver EPC outside the energy sector?
Yes. We use EPC wherever the result is measured by performance, including water and wastewater treatment, substations and industrial process facilities.
