Cooper’s Gulf Coast Houston, Texas parts, service shop, manufacturing, and corporate engineering center offers a diverse array of services, including in-house engine and compressor repairs and overhauls, parts manufacturing, parts warehousing, and technical support from our onsite corporate engineering team.

Proven Results from our Gulf Coast Location
The Houston (Gulf Coast) team undertook the complex task of overhauling and completely reconditioning three Cooper-Bessemer 16W-330s and one 8W-330 for a major U.S. pipeline company. In addition to the overhaul and reconditioning, all engines had their fuel and ignition systems upgraded to hyper fuel/clean burn. The entire undertaking was completed to customer requirements and scheduled over a six month period.
