Splitting a turnaround scope across multiple contractors and hoping everything comes together correctly is a risk most facilities can no longer afford. Compressed schedules, rising scope complexity, and the pressure to return units on time require a different approach — a single partner with the capabilities to own the full scope and the accountability to answer for all of it.
Eliminating the gaps in event work
When turnaround scopes are split across multiple contractors, the gaps between them become the biggest risk. Miscommunication, scheduling conflicts and safety inconsistencies can add up quickly. Turner Industries’ Specialty Services Division eliminates those gaps by bringing a full suite of specialized capabilities under a single coordinated team:
- Specialized Welding Services (SWS): Complex alloy welding, heater repairs, and pressure vessel modifications completed safely, with precision and unmatched productivity.
- NDE & Inspections: Drones, robotics, and advanced ultrasound and radiography technologies that identify asset integrity issues.
- Rope Access: Safe, efficient access to confined or elevated spaces for mechanical and inspection services, reducing project timelines and disruption.
- Industrial & Environmental Services: Hydro blasting, vacuum trucks, and civil services that keep operations moving and compliant.
These capabilities are planned and managed as a single coordinated scope — welding, inspection, rope access and environmental services working in concert rather than in isolation. When a project requires additional depth, Turner’s construction, maintenance, fabrication and crane and rigging divisions are there to support it.
Results that reflect the approach
Recent projects demonstrate what that coordination looks like in practice. A turnaround in Plaquemine, Louisiana, included 21,000 feet of pipe fabrication and installation, 6,495 welds completed and more than 400 scaffolds erected — all with zero OSHA recordables across more than 251,000 work hours. In Corpus Christi, Texas, a team of 280 Turner employees logged more than 330,000 total safe work hours across simultaneous turnaround, construction and maintenance scopes.
When the pressure is highest, leaving gaps between contractors is a risk you don’t have to take. Turner is built to close those gaps, handling every aspect of event work with single-source accountability. For more information, visit turner-industries.com.
