Representatives from Turner recently

volunteered as judges for a National

Association for Women in Construction

(NAWIC) Block Kids Lego® building

competition in Baker, Louisiana.

The NAWIC Block-Kids LEGO® Building

Program is a national building program

competition that is sponsored on the

local level by NAWIC chapters and other

organizations. The award-winning program

introduces children to the construction

industry in an effort to create an awareness

of and to promote an interest in future

careers in one of the many facets of

the industry. The program is open to all

elementary school children in grades K-6.

The competition involves the construction

of various structures with interlocking

blocks and three of the following additional

items: A small rock, string, foil and poster

board. Local winners advance to regional

competitions and one semi-finalist from

each region is entered in the National

Program competition. National prizes are

awarded to the top three projects.

Also, earlier this year the NAWIC held their

APC Leadership conference in Corpus

Christi, Texas. Turner NAWIC member,

Patricia Livas, attended.

“It was an honor to be able to represent

women in the construction industry and the

company I work for

at this conference.

I look forward to

attending many

more conferences

as a member of

NAWIC and a

Turner employee,”

said Patricia.

Our Commitment to Safety Continues

There is no company more acutely aware of its safety and

health commitment or more dedicated to the mission of safety

and health excellence in all we do, than Turner Industries.

We continually strive for total incident elimination and are

steadfast in a value system that ensures our employees

can execute their duties and responsibilities in a safe and

successful manner.

Last year, thousands of dedicated Turner employees executed

over 41,000,000 work hours, the vast majority of which

were completed without incident or injury. Employees with

many years of service worked side by side and mentored

employees new to our company and together they led us to

our best overall safety and health performance in the more

than 50 year history of Turner.

In support of the continued growth of our company and to

ensure that all employees, new and experienced, have the

greatest opportunity for success, we expanded programs

like our New Employee Management System and our Job

Safety Analysis process to make these programs even

more dynamic, interactive and engaging. Furthermore, we

reinvented our behavior-based safety program to expand

intervention opportunities, training, awareness and success.

Another concentration over the past year has been the

establishment, communication and education of our

workforce on 7 Life Critical Safety Rules, which are further

defined in this newsletter. These rules, and the consistent

application of our overall safety process and knowledge

transfer system, have helped to totally integrate our safety

and operational management processes into one seamless

Operational Excellence System.

As we look to the future, we are ever mindful of our

commitment to overall safety and health excellence, and

our dedication to zero incident performance in all we do.

- Mike Phelps, Vice President of Health and Safety

Life Critical Safety Rules:Over the past several years, Turner Industries has moved away from

the reactionary mode of our industry and has taken a more proactive

approach to safety. During this time, we have been able to identify 7

Life Critical Safety Rules. Historical data has proven that when these

life critical safety rules are not followed, the health and safety of our

workers can be compromised. During 2014, the corporate safety

department compiled these rules, created icons for easy identification,

and prepared posters for jobsite visual aid. These life critical safety

rules will become an integral part of our effort to protect the health

and safety of every Turner employee:

It All Adds Up – Meet Our New Chief Financial OfficerAfter thirty-four years of

excellent and dedicated

service as our Chief

Financial Officer (CFO)

at Turner Industries, Les

Griffon has retired. Les

began his career with

Turner in 1980 and rapidly

progressed through

numerous assignments

to be promoted to the

position of CFO in March of

2000. He will be retained

as a valued consultant for

a period of time.

Les has done an excellent

job recognizing the talents,

and grooming, James

P. (Jimmy) Sylvester, for

the role of current CFO.

Jimmy’s tenure with the company spans twenty years and he is well suited to step up

to this new position.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as Turner’s CFO and look forward to the

challenges inherently faced in this role. Turner has been built on a foundation of financial

discipline and I intend to continue that fiscal responsibility as we move into 2015 and

beyond,” said Jimmy.

We all express our heartfelt thanks and appreciation for Les’ many years of hard work and

extremely conscientious attention to the financial details and responsibilities demanded

of the CFO of a company like Turner.

“I am most grateful for the opportunities that Turner gave me over my 34 year career. I am

equally as appreciative of those who contributed to my success whether they worked for

me or not. I will always bleed Turner green and have utmost confidence in its continued

success in the future,” said Les.

Rodney Landry, Turner Project Manager at the Motiva – Convent Site in Louisiana Credits the Employee-Driven Safety Committee for its Perfect Safety Record

“Do you want to know what a Convent safety

hero looks like? Look around at our Convent

team…look next to you! There are hundreds

who work here day in and day out at this

Convent refinery. It is part of our DNA to

be leaders. It is part of our DNA to provide

a greater good for our workforce. It is part

of our DNA to help others understand. It is

part of our values to make others be safe

and feel safe,” said Rodney Landry, Turner

project manager.

One of the keys to developing a safety hero

at the Motiva – Convent site is the Safety

Proctor Committee. This committee is

craftsman-driven and supported by the

site management team. They meet weekly

for 4 consecutive weeks to discuss safety

culture and unsafe conditions in the plant,

bridging any gaps between field personnel

and supervision when it comes to safety.

“We give full credit to programs like this

that have played a role in our success,”

Rodney added.

Turner Industries’ specialized

transportation group recently completed

another spectacular job, accepting the

challenge of moving a large carousel drum

from the far northeastern side of Houston,

Texas to the San Jacinto Port located on

the south side of Houston.

The 83 ton carousel drum was to be

transported on Goldhofer Hydraulic

Transporters. The travel height was 24

feet, six inches, with a diameter over 21 feet

wide. The accompanying convoy included

three Turner escort trucks, five utility

bucket trucks from CenterPoint Energy,

three utility bucket trucks from AT&T,

three utility buckets trucks from Statewide

Traffic Control and nine Pasadena Sheriff

Office’s motor cycle officers.

A total of 38 individuals were involved with

this move. The permit required that this

move could only happen at night between

the hours of 10:00 PM and 4:00 AM. The

transport route would require traveling the

wrong-way on the Beltway 8 feeder road,

the wrong-way on the I-10 feeder road,

cutting through a Caterpillar® machinery

yard and raising over 100 utility cables.

Just passing through the Caterpillar yard

required the relocation of over 50 large

Caterpillar dozers and excavators.

The transport was completed incident-

free in five hours. This was a job well

done by the transportation crew made

up of John A. Adams, Whitey Braud and

Blaine McElwee with the assistance of

Turner’s Pasadena, Texas equipment yard

personnel and the use of their 500 ton

crane and rigging crew.

Our Impressive Fleet is Expanding AgainTurner’s specialized transportation group has acquired a new Goldhofer STZ-H9, 9 axle semi-trailer, with 240,000 pounds capacity.

The STZ series of semi-trailers has been designed by German engineers for an extremely diverse range of applications. Multiple loading platform concepts ensure the safe and effective transportation of goods ranging from structural steel pipe modules to pressure vessels.

Our two existing Goldhofer STZ-H6 semi-trailers have transported over 60 pipe modules in a four state region in the past two years. The Goldhofer STZ-H9 semi-trailer is an addition to our ever-expanding fleet to transport structural steel pipe modules up to 100 feet in length and payload weights up to 240,000 pounds.

Recently, Turner Industries hosted a pipe

shop tour for Baton Rouge Area Violence

Elimination (BRAVE) students. Turner works

closely with the BRAVE project, mentoring

high school students, letting them know

what careers are available in our industry.

The BRAVE project aims to eliminate

violent juvenile crime in the area of the

city in which the most crime of this kind

occurs. The administration involves strong

collaboration between the mayor, the district

attorney, the police chief, the sheriff, the

school superintendent and LSU.Pictured are: Susan Rogers, BRAVE case manager; Patrick Thibodeaux, Turner pipe Shop; BRPD Officer

Turner Industries Awarded Multi-Year Contract with BP – Decatur, Alabama

Turner has been awarded a multi-year

maintenance contract at the BP facility

in Decatur, Alabama, where employees

began work on December 1, 2014. The new

contract could provide jobs for as many as

130 workers.

The Decatur facility manufactures purified

terephthalic acid (PTA) and its basic raw

material, paraxylene (PX). It is also the

world’s only commercial-scale producer

of naphthalene dicarboxlate (NDC). Built

in 1965, the Decatur BP facility today

produces nearly 1 million metric tons

of PTA a year through its three large

production units.

Inside Active Operating Area, a Successful Exchanger Replacement

Multiple Turner Industries service

divisions coordinated and successfully

disconnected, lifted and removed an aged

olefins exchanger unit, and reconnected a

new replacement unit. Crane and riggings’

Warren Kaho and John Adams planned and

executed the exchangers’ lifts and transport

with our 400 Manitowoc lattice boom

crawler and Goldhofers. Disconnection

of the old exchanger and connection of

the new one was performed by Turner’s

maintenance division with supervision by

Dale Comardelle. The lift and replacement

were safely completed in one shift, inside a

congested operating area. This allowed our

client to remain at peak production levels

with minimum disruption.

Thank you, not only to the employees who pledged, but also to the dozens of employees who volunteered their time and energy to be sure each employee at every job site had the opportunity to hear the United Way story and make a pledge to help the United Way agencies in their own communities.

OUR EMPLOYEES ARE AWESOME!

within the heavy construction industry. Students spend the day learning about different

crafts and meeting instructors and industry leaders. One of this year’s guest speakers

Campaign UpgradesThe 2014 United Way Campaign was not only a success in terms of funds raised,

but also in the way the campaign was managed. Much of the work involved in

previous campaigns had to be performed manually. For example, in previous

campaigns after pledge cards were printed, each pledge card had to be manually

addressed and upon return, information on the pledge cards had to be manually

entered into JD Edwards (JDE) for payroll deductions.

A team from Turner’s IT department met with Michelle Hardy, coordinator of

Turner’s United Way Campaign, to design a process to make the campaign run

more smoothly and more efficiently.

The first step was to redesign the pledge cards so they could be pre-printed with

all necessary information. The second step involved the implementation of an

automated system that would track each card that was printed and received, and provide the functionality to read the card

and determine if it met one of the valid selection scenarios. Finally, the last step involved storing the image of the card within

FileNet (our electronic filing system), passing all of the selected options to JDE for payroll processing and historical tracking.

While the technical aspects are valuable and the number of people required to process the pledge cards has been greatly

reduced, an additional benefit is the fact that Turner’s United Way Campaign coordinator can now spend less time on the

mechanics of processing cards and more time at jobsites speaking to employees about the merits of contributing to United Way.

The project was a highly successful collaboration between business development’s Michelle Hardy, enterprise content

management’s Steve Malik, business systems’ Amy Kling, and JDE applications development’s Chris Henning.
