25 years of extraordinary execution.
JUMP TO:
EPC Services Company is one of the largest professionally-led, vertically integrated EPC companies in the United States, providing full EPC execution solutions for utility and energy projects.
EPC Services Company (EPCS) was founded in 2000 to meet the growing demand for fast-track utility and energy projects and has grown into one of the largest specialty EPC firms in the U.S. Today, EPCS manages up to two dozen EPC contracts annually, guided by over 100 years of combined high-voltage power delivery experience among our leadership. With fully integrated in-house engineering, procurement, and construction teams, we excel in delivering complex projects through 765 kV.
Our strong labor partnerships and ability to rapidly deploy technical resources allow us to adapt quickly to project changes, minimizing risk and maintaining performance. EPCS’s project managers bring the expertise and controls necessary to manage dynamic design-build environments, ensuring seamless coordination between engineering and construction. This professionally led approach has earned ECI and EPCS a reputation for excellence, even being referred to as the “gold standard” by one of the nation’s largest operating utilities.
EPCS clients benefit from our professionally-led EPC approach through the application of best practices, risk management, optimization of E, P & C, and precise/known/anticipated actions. For these reasons, it is our opinion that contractor-led EPC ventures are contractually and organizationally impaired when faced with dynamic changes and immediate needs that occur on a regular interval in EPC execution.
