Friend of mine says Turner Industries own 70% of the general maintenance contracts in Louisiana.

I call bullshite.

People that work in the field, who's the general contractor at your plant?

I would think Turner. They certainly own a lot, but maybe it’s changed a little since COVID.

Turner at the Exxon plants is the maintenance contractor but there are several other contractors working in Exxon every day. Maintenance workers make a good bit less than the other non-maintenance contractors but they tend to have more stable jobs long term

In construction the term general contractor is usually applied to commercial construction. In industrial settings plants are built by industrial contractors. But in industrial settings admin buildings, labs, maintenance buildings etc. are built by GCs.

Plant maintenance is also performed by industrial contractors.

Turner, and Performance are examples of large industrial contractors.

I would say Turner is > 50%.

They were ran out of our plant. We have Zachry now. They are close to getting shown the door also.

Turner, Cajun, MMR, Performance, etc

Some are more specialized than others but you should get the idea. I know MMR handles instrument maint at Formosa for example

That is too broad of a question. Like someone else said, industrial construction is broken down by the type of work. For example, I work for an industrial civil contractor in TX. We are technically a GC but we specialize in Civil. Others said MMR and Triad. They are I&E companies. Brock/Brand are soft craft companies. Turner and performance would generally be known as general mechanical. I would not argue that Turner probably has over 50% if maintenance contracts and that would include TX as well as LA. I do know Zachry has a whole bunch also. Just depends on the plant and/or units in the plant. Each unit can have their own maintenance bunch and who that is can vary from unit to unit.

Some of the best industrial contractors in the country are based right here in Baton Rouge and south Louisiana. There is a lot of work to go around. Also a lot of international work performed by the companies out is BR

Madison does our critical work and Turner does cleaning work. We have a couple local companies that do welding projects and general plant maintenance.

Zachry for mechanical maintenance, SWAT for turnaround work, ISC for electrical, & BrandSafway for scaffolding/painting. See alot of Turner & Jacobs/Worley for mechanical maintenance in plants up & down the river in LA.
