Feels like 20 years ago, Turner dominated everywhere in Louisiana.

Now all I hear is them losing contracts.

Just curious, who's holding the contracts at your plant or the plants you worked at?

Mechanical (Pipefitting, Boilermaking, Welding)
Electrical
SIPA (Scaffolding, Insulation)

Just maintenance, not turnarounds.

This isn't what your boss meant by developing business contacts.

We use Excel for shipping. Maintenance is plant employed.

Brown and Root took over the contract at the plant before I retired. Turner had been there for a long time

You are hearing wrong. Have they lost a couple here and there? Yeah. But they aren't losing contracts left and right like you are implying.

If something ever happened to Turner Industries, who would all the baws from New Roads work for?

Back when I was in the business it was

Maintenance- Turner
Mechanical, depended on turnaround type, etc, but Turner always got a piece. Wyatt, SWAT, Repcon.

Scaffolding was generally Brand, with some Excel.

Turner dominates in maintenance contracts over other companies, and it's not even close. Turner dominates turnarounds over other companies, and it's not even close.

I don't think it really matters, you're getting the same group of baws no matter what name they working for.

When Turner got replaced by Zachry at BASF, all the turner baws just got hired by zachry. they pretty much just got new FRC over the weekend.

Because their margins are paper thin and pay their people bunk rates.

Correct. They had a year with 3 fatalities and most plants insurance wouldn’t allow them in anymore.
