Overhauls

Service technicians are available for tear down, inspection, and rebuild of large integral and separable engines and compressors. New retrofits and safety upgrades can be installed to further improve operating efficiency during the overhaul. Advanced planning of an overhaul can lead to smoother execution and recommissioning.

Advanced Planning

  • Multiple reviews of overhaul scope, which eliminates omissions and errors.
  • Identify and manufacture special order components.
  • Pre-ordering of long lead items eliminates expediting charges.
  • Overhauls executed as a single work stream utilizing the same crew from start to finish reduces delays or interruptions.
  • Smoother overhaul execution and recommissioning.

customer Testimonial

The Cooper crew that was sent out to do the overhaul did a great job in getting the work done. All performed well and did a great job getting the unit overhauled. All three guys were very skilled, very safety oriented, took and followed directions well. If at all possible, I would like to see them all come back to do the overhaul on the next unit. I enjoyed working with these guys and am looking forward to seeing them again.
