Owner-side control for gas-engine power projects

K4 is developing a local-first project and asset control workspace that connects contractual requirements, technical evidence, decisions, actions and asset history from project development through operation.

The interface below is a product concept using demonstration data. K4 Project OS is under development and is not presented as a finished production software product.

The control gap

One project. Many disconnected records.

Gas-engine power projects are commonly managed across schedules, spreadsheets, document folders, correspondence and OEM platforms. Each system can perform its own function, while the owner still needs a traceable connection between a requirement, its supporting evidence, the resulting decision and the action that follows.

01
Requirements

Contractual, technical and acceptance obligations.

02
Evidence

What is verified, reported or still unsupported.

03
Decisions

Approvals, conditions, hold points and commercial consequences.

04
Actions

Responsible parties, due dates and unresolved blockers.

05
Asset history

A continuing technical record after commissioning and handover.

Concept interface

Built around owner decisions

The screens illustrate the intended information model. All project names, quantities, statuses and records shown here are demonstration data.

System role

A control layer across the existing project stack

K4 Project OS is intended to complement existing scheduling, ERP and OEM monitoring systems rather than replace them.

Primavera or Microsoft Project

Plans activities, dependencies, dates and resource sequences.

ERP and accounting systems

Manage transactions, procurement, payments and costs.

OEM and monitoring platforms

Track equipment condition, operating parameters and alarms.

K4 Project OS

Connects the owner’s requirements, technical evidence, decisions, actions and asset history across the project and operating lifecycle.

Design partner programme

Help shape the first production-ready version

K4 is inviting a small number of power developers, asset owners and technical teams to review real workflows and help define the first production-ready version.

  • Review project-control and asset-management workflows.
  • Test the information structure with non-confidential or anonymised examples.
  • Define practical requirements for evidence, approvals and acceptance.
  • Provide feedback on the prototype and reporting logic.

Any project information shared with K4 will be treated as confidential, with its permitted use agreed before it is provided.
