EPC Turnkey Delivery for Power Plants
One contract, one schedule, one point of responsibility from feasibility to commercial operation.
The main reason power projects run late is not engineering failure — it is interface failure. The boiler supplier blames the civil contractor, the civil contractor blames the late drawing, and the owner spends two years in the middle of it. An EPC turnkey contract exists to remove that problem.
Our scope is fixed at contract signature and mapped line by line against the owner's obligations. Every interface — battery limits, tie-in points, utilities, access, permits — is written down before mobilisation, not discovered on site.
Typical for
- Owners committing capital to a new plant
- Developers needing a firm technical basis
- Local contractors without in-house power expertise
- Industrial groups replacing unreliable grid supply
Who does what
Agreed at quotation stage and attached to the contract as a schedule.

Five stages, one contract
- Feasibility — Fuel and load assessment, site review, configuration options, indicative cost and schedule.
- Basic design — Heat and mass balance, single line diagram, layout, equipment specification, permit support documents.
- Procurement — Vendor selection, inspection and testing, logistics to site, customs coordination.
- Construction — Civil works, erection, quality control, progress reporting, HSE management.
- Commissioning — Cold and hot commissioning, performance test, grid synchronisation, handover and training.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions we are asked most often on this subject. If yours is not here, ask us directly.
What does EPC turnkey actually include?
Design, procurement, construction, commissioning and handover for a plant that meets a guaranteed output and efficiency at the battery limit. Fuel supply, land, permits and financing normally remain with the owner. The exact split is written into the contract schedule — no verbal understanding.
What contract price basis do you use?
Lump-sum turnkey for a fully specified scope. Where the fuel or site conditions are not yet confirmed, we propose a two-stage approach: a firm price for the defined scope plus provisional sums for the items that can only be fixed after investigation.
How do you handle delay and performance risk?
The contract carries liquidated damages for delay and for shortfall against guaranteed capacity and efficiency, both capped at an agreed percentage of contract value. We would rather agree a realistic schedule with defined owner obligations than an aggressive one that fails.
What payment structure is typical?
Usually 10–15% advance, progress payments against verified milestones, 10% on provisional acceptance and 5–10% retention against the warranty period. We work with letters of credit and can accommodate third-party inspection by SGS or Bureau Veritas.
