T urner Industries’ 2014 United Way campaign kicked off at the Baton Rouge, Louisiana August

safety meeting. Capital Area United Way President and CEO Darrin Goss, Sr. attended the

kickoff along with several members of his staff.

This year’s guest speaker was NASCAR driver, David Starr, who told stories from his childhood, how he

became a racecar driver and discussed the importance of safety, teamwork and community involve-

ment. David also shared the fact that he is, indeed, a welder and did most of the welding on his own

cars in the early days of his career. His stories were much appreciated by everyone and he finished the

evening by signing baseball caps and conversing with employees. Since then, the regional offices have

followed suit at their safety meetings, kicking off United Way campaigns in their areas.

And We’re Off! Corporate-Wide United Way Campaign Underway

I n 2008, Turner Industries’ crane

and rigging group was chosen by

Ceva Logistics to provide crane and

rigging support for the offloading and

re-locating of Rolls-Royce prototype

jet engines. The engines are in the

certification and testing phase at the

Rolls-Royce facility located within

the John C. Stennis NASA facility in

Stennis, Mississippi.

Arriving from England on one of the

largest commercial transport planes

in service, the Russian Antonov,

the jet engines are transported in a

frame designed specifically for that

engine. Total engine and frame vary

in weight from 46,000 pounds to

89,000 pounds. Since performing the

first lift in 2008, Turner has been the

preferred lifting contractor in the Gulf

South to lift these engines. Currently

averaging two to three engine lifts per

year, Turner expects the number to

increase due to the recent expansion

of the testing facility.

Scaffold Group Celebrates One Year with ZERO OSHA Recordables—Companywide

T he scaffold group—companywide—has accom-

plished the completion of one year with ZERO

OSHA recordables. During this year, our scaffolding

employees worked over 720,000 hours on 217 different jobs.

Special recognition goes to the

Houston region whose last record-

able was in 2006, and the Lake

Charles region which has now com-

pleted over two years with ZERO

OSHA recordables.

“I would like to congratulate and sincerely thank each and every one of the scaffold group for the hard work and leadership you have shown that has made this possible. I’m proud to be a part of this team.” – David Guitreau Sr. Vice President

• The Shell Motiva – Norco, Louisiana site had 100% employee participation in Turner’s 2014 United Way

Campaign. Very impressive, considering 624 employees work at that site.

• The Houston personnel department led the way for sites in Texas with 100% participation.

Some 2014 Campaign Highlights:

Facebook.com/TurnerIndustries

A collaborative effort by Turner Industries’ pipe fab-

rication and modular yards (Port Allen, Louisiana),

and the equipment and specialty services division (Baton

Rouge, Louisiana) resulted in the fabrication, testing, as-

sembly and delivery of four quench oil/steam assemblies

on the KBR Equistar CVO Furnace Project. This collabora-

tion enabled Turner to reduce the time required by the

client in their installation schedule, providing significant

cost savings as well.

“ To protect and to serve” won a motto contest in

1955 in the Los Angeles Police Department and

since has spread throughout the land of law en-

forcement countrywide. Within Turner, we have a small

group of professionals who emulate this motto in a dif-

ferent way. Corporate project controls was founded to

protect and to serve the company in the areas of planning,

scheduling and cost control.

“To Protect…”

The primary goal is to support efforts for maintenance,

construction or turnaround projects by using methods,

techniques and work processes that protect key proj-

ect information from corruption of any kind. Integrity of

project data is essential for project managers and stake-

holders in the decision making process. We aim to have

dependable, predictable indicators for project cost and

schedule health.

The Safurex urea pipe at the Donald-

sonville plant is required to be welded

in accordance with the ASME B31.3

Code and the manufacturer’s (Sta-

micarbon) specific requirements. All

qualification (procedure and welder)

test coupons had to be sent to the

Netherlands and reviewed by a Sta-

micarbon engineer for acceptance.

The welding presented some unique

problems as no one in the U.S. had

ever welded this material before. C.F.

Industries arranged for a Stamicarbon

representative to travel to Louisiana

and assist the Turner QC depart-

ment in qualifying a welding proce-

dure for use at the plant site. They

then arranged for a welding instructor to come in

and train eight of Turner’s best welders, six con-

struction welders and two maintenance welders,

on the unique characteristics of the material. All

eight welders passed their qualification tests and

are now working at the Donaldsonville site. Three of

Turner’s QC supervisors also attended the training

and will be training the site inspectors during the

construction phase of the project.

material requires special techniques to

avoid affecting the material in an adverse

way that would make it susceptible to cor-

T urner Industries’ construction division recently

completed the Westway Terminal Pipe Bridge

Project in Port Allen, Louisiana. The project in-

cluded deep drilled shafts adjacent to the Mississippi

River levee, foundations, and the fabrication and instal-

lation of pipe bridge trusses. The new pipe bridge trusses

extend from the levee, across a major highway, to the

terminal. Turner’s equipment division provided the large

cranes for lifting the trusses. The project was completed

injury-free thanks to the leadership of Dwain Spurgeon

and Jimmy Rogers.

‘Women in Welding’ Complete Certification Class

A revamped North Baton Rouge Indus-

trial Training Initiative (NBRITI) class

opened for registration this fall. Prospective

students were invited to the Baton Rouge

Community College Acadian Campus to

learn about and sign up for the program.

This year’s curriculum has been improved

by the addition of more life-skills training.

Evaluations from last semester showed that

life-skills training is vital to the success of a

person’s career, and this was something the

original program lacked.

The Turner Industries workforce develop-

ment group attended the career fair, held

in conjunction with the registration, which

was a great success.

Also attending the event were Carlos Evans

and Donald Cook, two graduates from the

previous class held in 2012. They are now

working for Turner at ExxonMobil. The two

were there to share their success stories

and inspire others to pursue a career in our

industry and take advantage of the NBRI-

TI opportunity.

The NBRITI is a collaborative effort by

the Capital Area Technical College, Baton

Rouge Community College, ExxonMobil,

Turner Industries and other industrial lead-

ers, nonprofit organizations and community

resource partners. The initiative provides

selected participants with free training in

one of three concentrations—pipefitting,

welding or electrical.

Information Technology

I n a perfect environment, using estimating standards alone would minimize the risk of budget and schedule noncompliance during planned outages and turnarounds. However, planned outages and turnarounds, as we know, are not perfect environ-

ments. Each is unique in that each possesses various combinations of risk driven from different levels of inefficiencies.

Budget and schedule noncompliance related to execution of most events stems from inaccuracy associated with direct labor work-hour estimations. Inside of this, we find most contributing factors are surrounded by either not using estimating standards or using them, but not applying an accurate inefficiency multiple. If you cannot correctly identify the problem, how can you mitigate it?

Created In-House, TRAM™ Software Reduces Turnaround Financial Risks

If we told you that by identifying and quantifying the potential inefficiencies associated with your turnaround you had the opportunity to mitigate ap-proximately half of your financial risk, would you be interested? Because unidentified risk cannot be man-aged; it cannot be mitigated. If you could identify and also quantify that risk into a dollar amount, you could actually mitigate that risk into a tangible cost savings before the project even starts, significantly improving the accuracy of your plan efficiency, productivity, and ultimately your final cost and schedule forecasting.

Turner Industries is excited to release a brand new proprietary software product that provides unparal-leled advantages to our customers known as TRAM™ software, which is our patent-pending Turnaround Risk Analysis Model. TRAM software is a client-driven, interactive process that allows our customers to iden-tify and quantify 14 common industry-risk categories. TRAM software is a user-friendly, Web-based appli-cation designed by Turner’s strategic turnaround ser-vices group and developed in-house by our software development group.

“I believe our clients will be impressed with the fact this rather complex system is so easy to use and navigate. All the hard work is done by the software; you just have to plug in the numbers,” said Dwight Braud, executive vice president of maintenance at Turner.

Being able to accurately identify inefficiencies, and either mitigate or account for them in a turnaround plan, provides the basis for the level of overall success of the turnaround. By performing an initial risk analysis that is validated by current site personnel with experience in past outages and turnaround execution, TRAM software will help quantify that risk into a tangible dollar amount, which can then be used as the basis for making data-driven business decisions.

“On average, when the TRAM software solution is used, mitigated risk can be measured in the millions,” said Sean Reyn-olds, operations manager of strategic turn-around services at Turner.

During the risk analysis process, TRAM software allows for true collaboration be-tween client and Turner in identifying the levels of inefficiencies in the risk determi-native conditions specific to that location. Once the TRAM software has quantified the initial risk, management can put an action plan into place, refresh the data if necessary and start the mitigation process.

For more information, or if you would like to sched-ule a demonstration, contact Sean Reynolds at sreynolds@turner-industries.com or (225) 214-2147.
