You need one contractor who can take new or used gas turbines and turn them into a working, maintained plant, whatever the source of the machine.
From Turbine to Running Plant
We have seen good turbines sit idle because nobody owned the step from purchase to power. USP&E closes that gap with engineering, construction, commissioning and long-term operations. USP&E is a full-service EPC and O&M contractor, not a broker.
EPC for New Gas Turbines
New turbines arrive with factory documentation and warranty terms, but they still need a site that is ready for them. USP&E designs foundations, fuel systems, inlet and exhaust arrangements, electrical connections and controls so that the turbine can be set, connected and fired without delay. Interfaces with the OEM are managed by our engineers so you are not left coordinating suppliers.
For buyers comparing new packages, our sister team covering new gas turbine generators and packages explains how different equipment families affect layout, ramp rate and maintenance.
EPC for Used and Surplus Gas Turbines
Used turbines need an extra layer of work before they are installed. USP&E reviews records, inspects the engine and generator, agrees what must be refurbished, and then plans the installation around the confirmed condition. Remanufactured GE Frame 6B units, for example, are rebuilt to zero hours before EPC begins, giving the plant a clean baseline.
The same discipline applies to auxiliary equipment. Lube oil systems, starting systems, control panels and fire protection are tested or replaced so the plant does not inherit hidden faults from its previous life.
O&M That Protects the Investment
Once the plant is running, operations and maintenance decide how much value it delivers. USP&E provides operators, planned maintenance, inspections, spares management and performance reporting. Maintenance intervals follow the OEM framework for your specific machine, and every intervention is recorded so the plant’s history stays clear for insurers, lenders and future buyers.
Where turbines serve data centres, the O&M plan is aligned with campus redundancy requirements, and buyers planning compute campuses can review gas turbines for data center primary power for the site-side design.
USP&E Offices for Gas Turbine EPC and O&M
Colorado Springs (1755 Telstar Dr, Suite 300) is where many EPC and O&M for new and used gas turbines requests are scoped; Knoxville (800 S Gay St, Suite 700) follows them into procurement and field execution. If you already hold a turbine, ask the Knoxville or Johannesburg team for a condition review before you design the site. Cape Town (31 Brickfield Road, Woodstock) and Johannesburg (22 Kildoon Rd, Bryanston) contribute site teams that have worked in heat and dust, London (162-168 Regent Street) handles finance-facing work, and Wuxi (No. 1, Ningzhou Road, Wuxi) keeps manufactured components moving. Regions: USA | AFRICA | UK | UAE | CHINA. The record is 150+ power projects in 45+ countries and 25,000 MW contracted since 2002, run by 400+ engineers and project managers. ISO 9001 and ISO 45001 certified.
Gas Turbine Delivery Record
You need evidence that turbines we handle end up producing power. These projects show it.
- USP&E has refurbished seven GE Frame 6B gas turbines to zero hours in-house for major US hyperscale data-centre developers.
- NEOM, Saudi Arabia: USP&E supplied three zero-hour Siemens SGT-400 gas turbines. Read the case study.
- Resolute Mining, Syama, Mali: USP&E installed and operated a 30 MW Caterpillar power station from 2007 to 2010. Read the case study.
Your Plan
Your 3-step plan: 1. Tell us about your turbine or the capacity you need. 2. Receive an EPC scope with a condition review for used units. 3. Commission and hand over to USP&E O&M.
- Share turbine details, records and site information.
- Agree inspection or refurbishment scope for used units.
- Engineer the balance of plant and grid interface.
- Install, test and commission under one site team.
- Start planned O&M with performance reporting.

FAQ: EPC and O&M for new and used gas turbines
Does USP&E provide EPC for turbines it did not supply?
Yes. USP&E can engineer, install and commission turbines you already own, after a condition review. We assess records and the machine itself, agree any refurbishment, and then deliver the plant around it, so the turbine’s origin does not limit your options.
What extra work do used gas turbines need?
USP&E reviews operating records, inspects the engine and generator, and tests auxiliaries such as lube oil, starting and control systems. Worn parts are refurbished or replaced before installation, and remanufactured units such as the GE Frame 6B are rebuilt to zero hours.
What does USP&E O&M include?
USP&E O&M includes plant operators, planned maintenance following the OEM framework, inspections, spares management, troubleshooting and performance reporting. The aim is predictable availability and a clear maintenance history that supports insurance, financing and any future sale of the plant.
Is USP&E a broker of gas turbines?
No. USP&E is a full-service EPC and O&M contractor, not a broker. We sell turbines from inventory, but our core work is engineering, building and running the plants they power, and we stay accountable after commissioning is complete.
What has USP&E delivered with gas turbines?
USP&E has refurbished seven GE Frame 6B gas turbines to zero hours in-house for major US hyperscale data-centre developers and supplied three zero-hour Siemens SGT-400 units for NEOM. Overall, the company has delivered 150+ power projects in 45+ countries.
Which USP&E offices handle turbine EPC?
USP&E handles turbine EPC from Colorado Springs and Knoxville in the USA and Johannesburg and Cape Town in South Africa, with London supporting finance and structuring and Wuxi supporting China supply chain. Your project team is chosen by site location.
How does USP&E respond to a new turbine EPC request?
USP&E assigns an engineer to review your turbine details, site and schedule. You receive questions or an outline scope once the basic data is in hand, and sharing drawings, records and fuel information early shortens the path to a firm proposal.
Can O&M continue for many years?
USP&E structures O&M for the long term, with contracts that cover routine operation, planned inspections and major maintenance events. Keeping the same team over the plant’s life protects knowledge of the site and keeps maintenance decisions consistent from year to year.
Take the Next Step With USP&E
The good outcome is simple: EPC and O&M for new and used gas turbines with one accountable team and no surprises at commissioning. The bad one is a half-finished package nobody owns. Contact USP&E, phone +27 10 822 2324 or email info@uspeglobal.com, or search inventory now.
