Should this project be built?
Demand, fuel, site constraints, tariffs, CAPEX, OPEX and downside cases are tested in one decision model.
Independent gas-to-power project and asset advisory
Decide before you commit capital.
We help owners, investors and lenders determine what to build, what to buy and what to reject — with project economics, equipment due diligence and client-side technical control.
K4-Technology is the advisory practice of KIV-Technology d.o.o., Belgrade, Serbia.

Three questions before CAPEX
A better decision is the first project deliverable.
The useful answer is not always “build it.” We make assumptions visible, test the economics and identify the risks before a supplier or contractor defines the project for you.
Is this the right equipment?
New and pre-owned offers are compared on verified condition, lifecycle cost, serviceability and commercial exposure.
Who should deliver it locally?
We define the scope, qualify local contractors, normalize bids and verify technical delivery on the client's side.
Advisory products
Three ways to reduce risk before and during delivery.
Each engagement has a defined decision, evidence set and written deliverable. Scope can start with a rapid screen and expand only when the project merits it.
Project Intelligence
Rapid project screen, feasibility study and techno-economic model. We connect gas quality, load, generation concept, CAPEX, OPEX, overhaul reserves and sensitivity cases into an investment decision.
Asset Intelligence
Independent review of supplier quotations and pre-owned gas engines. We verify configuration, condition, operating history, residual life, restoration budget and fair value before purchase.
Owner's Engineering
Client-side technical representation from tender strategy to handover. We prepare requirements, search and qualify local contractors, compare bids, review design gates and verify milestones.
Asset Intelligence / pre-owned gensets
Know the asset before you wire the money.
The secondary market is opaque. We turn claimed condition into documented engineering evidence for buyers, lessors, banks and insurers.
- 01Borescope inspectionCylinder condition without disassembly.
- 02Operating-hours verificationWear evidence checked against meter readings and records.
- 03Oil and coolant analysisWear metals, contamination and coolant chemistry.
- 04Residual-life assessmentHours to the next minor and major overhaul.
- 05Restoration budgetItemized parts and labor to serviceable condition.
- 06Fair market value opinionValue based on verified condition, not seller claims.
Deliverable: a written report with photo and video evidence, suitable for credit committees, insurance review and dispute resolution.
Owner's Engineering / local execution
Local contractors execute. We protect the client's decision.
The client contracts the selected local contractor directly. K4-Technology remains independent on the client side — defining the result, testing the bid and verifying delivery.
Engagement model / client-sideDefine → Select → Verify
Decision / 01
Define the result
Requirements, interfaces, economics, risk allocation and acceptance criteria are fixed before the tender.
Market / 02
Qualify local execution
Contractors are sourced and assessed; offers are normalized so price, exclusions and technical risk are comparable.
Delivery / 03
Verify every gate
Design reviews, factory and site tests, milestones, commissioning evidence and handover are checked against the brief.
Commercial independenceNo hidden commissions and no obligation to award work to a preferred supplier. Any third-party remuneration or conflict is disclosed before the decision.
Engagement levels
Start small. Add depth only when the evidence supports it.
Is there a project?
A concise decision memo with key assumptions, indicative CAPEX/OPEX, red flags and the next information required.
Is it bankable?
A transparent technical and economic model with scenarios, lifecycle costs, equipment concept and implementation strategy.
Is it being delivered correctly?
Targeted owner's engineering through tendering, design review, testing, commissioning and acceptance.
Published research / technical notes
Practical answers for gas-to-power investment decisions.
Independent analyses based on public data, engineering calculations and explicit assumptions. The first technical note is now available in English, Russian and Chinese.

K4 engineering group
Operating experience behind independent advice.
KIV-Technology d.o.o. in Belgrade is the international contracting entity of the K4 engineering group. The group's operating track record — 16 gas engine power plants totaling approximately 25 MW — is the practical foundation for our international advisory work.
We are independent of engine manufacturers and execution contractors. Our recommendations are informed by installation, commissioning, maintenance, overhaul work and live service contracts, but our international role starts on the client's side: analysis, due diligence and technical control.
Clear answers
What clients and technical reviewers ask first.
What decisions can K4-Technology support?
Whether to build, what equipment to buy, how to compare supplier offers, which delivery model to use and which local contractor should execute the project.
Does K4-Technology act as the EPC contractor?
Our default model is client-side advisory. The client contracts a qualified local execution contractor directly; we define requirements, evaluate bids and verify delivery. Any broader scope is agreed separately.
What inputs are needed for a rapid project screen?
Useful starting inputs are a gas analysis, site and load data, utility constraints, supplier quotations and any available equipment or project documents.
What does pre-owned genset due diligence deliver?
A written engineering report with photo and video evidence, condition findings, residual-life assessment, restoration budget and a fair-market-value opinion.
