In an EPC contract, the contractor engineers, procures, constructs and commissions a project from its inception to completion. EPC contracts are also referred to as turnkey contracts because the concept is that once the project is complete and ready to be handed over to the user, it will require only the 'turn of a key' for the user to operate it.
