Our engineering services consist of services to enhance power plant design, commissioning, testing and improve operations and maintenance for existing and new power generation facilities. Our focus is to provide our clients with the required expertise to exceed their contract requirements for their power projects. The engineering, startup and testing personnel are experienced in the many facets of power plant turnkey projects and can provide the expertise to solve the problems and enhance the project schedule that results in savings to our clients.

Power Tek has extensive experience in the performance and acceptance testing arenas. Our experience will be one of the resources used to provide quick resolution to problems and contract or engineering issues. We understand that the schedule is important to the owner as well as the contractor and will expedite any information required to complete the project. A project which does not meet schedule milestones and experiences schedule liquidated damages is detrimental to both the Contractor and the Owner. Power Tek has assisted many projects in meeting project schedule milestones and assisting the project participants to meet the project goals.
