enterprise center of excellence (COE)

Cooper is the O.E.M. for the famous line of Enterprise engines and compressors. Enterprise products are deployed globally in gas compression, power generation, marine applications, and nuclear standby. Just like other Cooper products, Enterprise engines have a rich legacy and have been in service since 1917.

Our parts, shop, and field service personnel stand ready to provide top of the line quality services for all your Enterprise engine and compressor units, in all applications ranging from pipeline, power generation, marine, and nuclear standby.

Cooper Case Study: Cooper’s Enterprise COE specializes in providing parts, service, repair, and engineering for Enterprise diesel, dual fuel, and spark ignited engines. Recently, we assisted a waste water treatment plant customer on the west coast in servicing their HVA engine. Shown in the picture is a cast steel spark ignited power head with an integral pre-combustion chamber being welded before returning to service. Our Enterprise cast steel head repairs include inspection, welding, and machining and are returned to the customer in “like new” condition with a hydrotest.
