What It Takes to Get the Job Done Right

EXPANDING THE INSPECTION

FLEET:

HausBots Crawler and Skygauge Drone

Turner Specialty Services continues to invest in advanced inspection technology, adding two new tools to its growing drone and robotics fleet.

The HB3 by HausBots crawler is a wall-climbing robot that uses proprietary AEROGRIP technology to adhere to and traverse a wide range of surfaces — including stainless steel, concrete, and composites — without magnets or vacuum seals. Capable of carrying various NDT payloads, it supports ultrasonic thickness measurement, visual inspection, and corrosion mapping on assets where traditional access would require scaffolding, rope access, or confined space entry.

The Skygauge brings ultrasonic testing to aerial inspection. Using patented thrust-vectoring technology for stable, precise flight, the drone makes direct contact with elevated surfaces to capture accurate wall thickness readings — eliminating the need for rope access, scaffolding, or boom lifts and keeping inspection personnel safely on the ground.

Together, these additions strengthen Turner Specialty Services’ ability to deliver thorough, efficient, and safer inspections across tanks, vessels, piping, and elevated structures.

Equipment Division Adds New Goldhofer Trailers

Turner Industries’ Equipment, Rigging, and Specialized Transportation Division recently added 20 lines of Goldhofer PST/SL-E Split Units to its fleet, making Turner the first company in the United States to purchase these specialized trailers.

The Goldhofer PST/SL-E units are purpose-built for the heavy lift and specialized transportation demands Turner’s crews face daily. The trailers’ split-unit design allows operators to widen the transporter deck from a standard 10 feet to 16 feet, delivering greater load stability and reducing the number of axle lines required to move oversized equipment. That capability translates directly to safer, more efficient operations — whether Turner teams are transporting modules across a job site or managing the precise work of barge loading and unloading along the Gulf Coast and beyond.

At ConExpo in Las Vegas, Goldhofer ceremoniously presented Turner Industries' Equipment Division with the keys to 20 lines of PST/SL-E Split Units.

Turner Industries Supports Restoration of Louisiana State Capitol

Standing 450 feet tall, the Louisiana State Capitol is the tallest state capitol building in the United States — an Art Deco skyscraper completed in just 14 months in 1932. Nearly a century later, Turner Industries is helping ensure this landmark stands strong for the next hundred years.

Turner Industries’ Equipment, Rigging, and Specialized Transportation Division provided crane and rigging support for ongoing structural cleaning and repair efforts at the Capitol in Baton Rouge — lifting scaffold materials and carefully removing exterior stone blocks with the kind of precision the historic structure demands.

“We are honored to play a role in the maintenance and preservation of such an important piece of Louisiana’s history,” said Jesse Morain, senior vice president of Turner’s Equipment Division. “It’s a project that requires our team to draw on decades of rigging experience to ensure the job is done with absolute care.”

Remote Dredging in Action

When Turner’s environmental services group took on a sludge dredging and dewatering project for a facility in south Louisiana, the crew went to work without ever setting foot on the water. Operating a remote-controlled fleet from shore, the team navigated and cleared two ponds while eliminating the risks associated with over-water operations and direct exposure to pond contents.

The project also put Turner’s “One Solution” model to work. By pairing environmental expertise with Turner’s crane and rigging group, the team streamlined mobilization and equipment positioning — executing 10-hour shifts, six days a week from start to finish.

WELCOME ABOARD!

Turner Industries has been expanding its workforce, welcoming new team members to jobsites across the country. Here are a few of our newest team members. We’re thrilled to have you onboard!

Turner Industries Takes Home Top Honors at ABC National Excellence in Construction Awards

Turner Industries’ construction teams have been nationally recognized for their outstanding work, bringing home two awards at the recent Associated Builders and Contractors National Excellence in Construction Awards.

Turner was awarded the Eagle Award (National First Place) for its work on the BlueCAT Project in Port Allen, Louisiana, and the Pyramid Award (National Second Place) for executing the Magnolia Project in Huntsville, Texas.

Associated Builders and Contractors National Excellence in Construction Awards celebrate the most innovative and high-quality construction projects across the nation. For BlueCAT (Shell Catalysts and Technologies), Turner expanded the world’s largest refining catalyst plant by safely assembling 16 massive modules horizontally before executing complex vertical lifts. For the Magnolia Project, Turner crews navigated a 50-by-50-foot workspace inside an active facility. Highlights included a 21,000-pound reactor lift and 60 equipment installations, all completed with zero operational disruptions.

BUILT ON TRUST: Turner’s SIPA Team

at OXEA Bay City

Operating across a remote, multi-area facility, Turner Industries’ SIPA scaffolding team is an essential part of daily maintenance for the OXEA site in Bay City, Texas. In 2025, this tight-knit crew achieved more than 23,000 recordable-free hours.

Operating like a close family, this team supports each other on and off the job to overcome any logistical obstacle. The Turner Industries scaffolding team at OXEA Bay City includes Supervisor Marcus Rocha, Carpenter Joshua Fields, Apprentice Daniel Gonzales, and Lead Men Jesus Aguirre, Javier Paniagua, and Alex Ortiz. Together, they prove that no matter the challenge, Turner consistently delivers safe and productive results.

Turner Industries Partners with MPLX to Deliver Winter Warmth

Turner Industries recently supported Marathon Petroleum’s midstream segment, MPLX, and the nonprofit organization Diné Ba’adeiti (For the People) in a winter firewood initiative across the Southwest.

Firewood has become an essential energy source for cooking and heating in hundreds of rural, off-the-grid homes within the Navajo Nation and Hopi Tribe across Arizona and New Mexico. To help meet peak winter demand, MPLX reached out to Turner Industries to assist with the heavy lifting.

Knowing that a single standard cord of wood can weigh up to 4,000 pounds, Turner Industries provided a skid steer to help load the logs. By using the skid steer, volunteers were able to reduce the loading time for five cords of wood from five hours by hand down to just 20 minutes. Thanks to the increased loading efficiency, the team successfully processed and delivered 16 cords of wood to the Cameron community in Arizona and another 30 cords to the Hogback Chapter near Shiprock, New Mexico.

“We’re aligned with MPLX in our vision of improving and growing communities,” said Turner Industries Senior Project Manager Michael Podnar. “We are proud to have played a role in MPLX’s incredible efforts and are thrilled that the equipment could help keep these households warm this winter season.”

Women in Construction Week, held annually during the first full week of March, honors the women who have built successful careers in our industry and encourages others to join the field. To celebrate the many women driving Turner Industries forward, we are proud to spotlight one of our very best.

Kerry Wiggins CELEBRATING INDUSTRY WOMEN IN

Vice President of Health and Safety

Specialty Services Division

Kerry Wiggins is a dedicated leader with 31 years at Turner and 36 years in the industry. Her journey began in 1989 as a safety technician, working directly with each craft to learn the business from the ground up. Today, she leads with the conviction that safety must be planned into the success of every job.

What first drew you to the construction industry?

As a kid, I was always fascinated with the lights at the chemical plants — how they looked like a small city at night. I knew my dad worked out there, and I was always curious about what actually happened behind those fenced-in gates.

What is the most exciting safety innovation you have seen since the start of your career?

Drones and robotics have made a tremendous impact on our industry. When I started in 1989, I never imagined we would have cameras flying at heights and into confined spaces.

How do you think women will continue to shape this industry?

In 1989, women represented 5% of the workforce. Today, that number is 11.5%. I believe in the next 10 to 20 years, that number will double.

What advice would you give women considering a career in the industry?

Work hard. Conduct yourself professionally with honesty and integrity, and the sky is the limit.

Turner

Industries is at the center of America’s manufacturing resurgence. The sectors may be new. The work isn’t.

A new era of American manufacturing is taking shape, and the need for industry partners who can deliver is accelerating. New pharmaceutical plants. Hyperscale data centers. Advanced automotive and aerospace production lines. The requirements are the same across all of them: build it right, build it safe, and build it now. Turner Industries has spent 65 years preparing for exactly this — not by chasing trends, but by building the workforce, the capabilities, and the culture that make this kind of work possible.

THE RX FOR PHARMA CONSTRUCTION

When it comes to the pharmaceutical and life sciences industry, every surface, every weld, every process has to meet exact standards. It’s the kind of work Turner Industries is built for.

Cleanroom environments, hygienic piping systems, strict regulatory timelines, precision craftsmanship.

Pharmaceutical and life sciences construction is built around excellence — and Turner’s “One Solution” approach is built for it. Consolidating what would typically be multiple contractor scopes under a single team, Turner streamlines coordination and translates operational efficiency directly into speed to market.

Turner has a new dedicated bay at its North Yard facility in Port Allen, Louisiana, specifically for hygienic piping fabrication. Using enclosed head orbital welding equipment, Turner can meet the exact standards pharmaceutical applications require.

BUILDING AT THE SPEED OF DATA

Data center developers are racing to bring capacity online. Turner’s turnkey model covers every phase:

SITE PREPARATION & EXCAVATION

PIPING & COOLING SYSTEM INSTALLATION

EQUIPMENT SETTING

CRANE, RIGGING, HAULING, & SITE LOGISTICS

CONCRETE FOUNDATIONS

MODULAR & PIPE FABRICATION

ELECTRICAL & INSTRUMENTATION

One team. One schedule. One point of accountability.

The smartest work on a data center project might never happen on the jobsite. Pipe and modules can be fabricated offsite in controlled environments, then delivered ready for rapid integration. This means fewer delays waiting on materials, and less congestion on an active construction site.

Turner’s fabrication facilities have the dedicated space built to support exactly this kind of work. When those modules are ready to move, Turner’s Equipment, Rigging, and Specialized Transportation Division handles the haul — moving oversized loads from fabrication facility to construction site with the same precision and accountability that defines every other phase of the work.

FROM THE ROAD

TO THE RUNWAY

The automotive and aerospace sectors are in the middle of a generational build-out — next-generation vehicle platforms, battery manufacturing facilities, private sector aerospace innovation. Turner crews have executed capital projects inside active facilities, installing robotics systems and conveyor equipment under tight deadlines without disrupting ongoing production. Rope access teams complete complex elevated work at heights that would otherwise require extended scaffolding and longer shutdowns.

On the maintenance side, Turner’s nested model provides a dedicated on-site workforce including mechanical, electrical, HVAC, and general facility support — giving manufacturers a single accountable partner to keep operations moving.

Turner delivers what manufacturers in these sectors count on: the ability to safely work inside a live facility without disrupting production.

THE FULL PACKAGE

For manufacturers, packaging operations are where consistency, safety, and efficiency have to show up every single day. It’s essential work, and Turner doesn’t just support it. Turner runs it.

STAKING NEW GROUND

Next-generation minerals extraction, specialty hydrocarbon production, and advanced materials manufacturing are experiencing rapid domestic expansion — and the construction and maintenance work that follows requires a contractor with the versatility to perform.

Turner has completed mineral processing projects, helped execute specialty chemical facility expansions, and established nested maintenance operations at advanced materials sites across the country. Each project reinforces a core truth: the fundamentals don’t change. Safety, craft quality, schedule discipline, and accountability translate across any industry.

Turner’s new Salt Lake City operations facility establishes a permanent Midcontinent presence — extending its reach to mining, specialty manufacturing, and beyond.

The sectors may be emerging. The work ethic isn’t. Every project Turner touches is backed by the same thing: people who show up, perform safely, and take pride in what they build. More than 20,000 craft professionals across the country are doing this work right now, across more industries and in more regions than ever before. Not just because manufacturing is having a moment, but because this is what Turner has always done. The industries will keep evolving. Our standards won’t.

Today, John manages quality protocols for Turner’s services at the BP facility in Whiting, Indiana, mentoring the next generation of inspectors and ensuring every job meets the Turner standard of excellence.

A Quick Q & A with John

What are your main job responsibilities at the BP facility?

What is it about the “Turner family” that has made this the right fit for you?

I oversee quality assurance and quality control for our operations at the BP facility. My day-to-day focus is on leadership: training site managers on our Quality Management Systems and making sure our workflows are safe, efficient, and site-specific.

It is a place where we look out for one another and hard work is recognized with opportunities to grow. Most importantly, Turner has provided the stability I need to provide for my family and build a life I am proud of.

Why did you decide to make the move to Indiana with your family?

What do you find most satisfying about your job?

Moving to Indiana was about more than just a new location; it was the opportunity of a lifetime and a major career milestone. I wanted to take on a challenge that matched my ambition and show my gratitude to the leadership team that saw my potential.

Building programs from the ground up and creating systems that truly make sense is incredibly rewarding. Beyond the technical work, the most satisfying part of my job is watching my team develop into top-tier inspectors. Their growth pushes me to keep learning as well, challenging me to become the best version of myself every single day.

What do you enjoy doing outside of work?

One word: Family. Coming from an Asian background, family is the foundation of everything I do. Whether it’s sharing meals together, celebrating milestones, or just having simple conversations at home, those moments mean the most to me.
