General Contractor is a term for commercial building not industrial.

I don't know but Turner is a big boy nationwide in plant maintenance and turnarounds. They did lose the maintenance contract for Citgo in Lake Charles a year or two ago.

On capital construction, Bay Ltd is a really big boy, they get whatever they want for Valero and ChevronPhilips Chemical. Then again, the Berry family owns a big chunk of Valero stock and helped finance their change from being a local Texas natural gas producer to refining.

Lawrence Berry's ranch at Rosharon is fun with skeet, trap, and live pigeon shoots attended by execs from most major refining companies, along with both Dem and GOP elected officials.

CitizenK, do we know each other? One of my best friends is LB’s right hand man. I’ve been to Providence multiple times.

I’ve seen the term general contractor used for industrial construction with project work. I work in projects and have worked on very large projects (major/mega projects) in multiple states. General contractors from my perspective (owner/operator side) and my experience are usually multi craft companies that manage the full scope on larger projects (not necessarily an EPC) and subcontract (usually piling, sometime crane rentals, I&E, insulation/paint, scaffold, specialty work, etc) some of the work out.

I was on a project a while back where we referred to Performance as the GC.

Turner has been losing a lot of maintenance contracts. They've lost Westlake Plaquemine, Nova, and Marathon recently.

Brown & Root is making a come back.
