Fall is at our doorstep.

If there’s one thing that could possibly make the summer months seem like they’re dragging, it’s the anticipation of a new college football season. With nearly 19,000 employees working on any given day, we would bet there’s a fan for every team out there. In this issue, our employee spotlight focuses on some of these fans. From a house divided to a past pro-player and everything in between, we hope you’ll enjoy reading about your coworkers’ passion for the game and what the game means to them personally.

1,400' 50-80 TONS 4 HOURS Garyville, La. – After weeks of planning and preparation, Turner Industries performed a major pipeline repositioning job for Marathon Petroleum. Over the years—through expansion and routine operations—pipelines tend to shift from their original positions, making periodic corrections a necessity.

Historically, repositioning pipelines can be a costly and tedious endeavor. Traditional methods call for a complete shutdown of the line. This includes clearing and purging of product, prepping pipe for opening, cutting and dismantling into sections, and then repositioning the line in sections to be welded and/or flanged back together.

However, through brainstorming and group discussions, the idea to lift the entire pipeline in one vertical lift and reposition it with one horizontal shift was born.

The lift required a 24”, 1,400 foot long diesel line to be repositioned 12” back to its

original coordinates. Marathon and Turner put together a team capable of shifting the pipeline in one piece by strategically placed cranes ranging from 50 – 80 tons capacity.

The pipeline had several risers and bends and extended from the diesel tank, through the tank farm, across River Road and onto the river dock loading arm, making the lift quite complicated.

After performing weight and load calculations, Turner planners and supervision developed a lifting and shifting plan. On June 9th, Marathon operations and supervision, Turner’s crane and rigging group, tank crew, zone 6 maintenance team, and quality control, along with safety representatives from both parties, executed the task to perfection.

The cost avoidance on a project like this has been estimated to be in the millions of dollars. Instead of two to three weeks of downtime, the shift was completed in

only four hours. Areas around the project were minimally affected as no hot work permits had to be issued, possible environmental exposures were avoided and most importantly, potential safety hazards were eliminated.

“The leadership teams of Marathon and Turner are no doubt the best in the business, but the real superstars on a project like this are the men and women who safely executed the job, operating cranes and pulling wrenches,” said Richard Bercegeay, Turner supervisor.

“The relationship between Marathon and Turner is what drives this culture of camaraderie and teamwork. The support and trust from the Marathon employees, is the key to allowing our employees to share their experience and creativity, in performing unique tasks such as this one,” said Gary Truxillo, Turner project manager.

PROJECTS

OXYCHEM – TAFT, LA Taft, La. – In just fifteen days, Turner Industries, using multiple divisions, completed an unscheduled repair at OxyChem. The repairs included removing and replacing steel, piping and associated equipment.

Turner’s Equipment Division set up a 400 ton Liebherr crane and together with our specialized welding services group, and onsite maintenance resources, removed associated piping and steel in preparation for removal of the tank. Once the tank was removed, it was blasted by Turner’s Specialty Services group and prepared for transport to Montz, Louisiana, for assessment and repairs.

Once the equipment was properly removed and the area cleared, measurements were pulled on existing piping to verify drawings for fabrication. A total of 80 new pipe spools were fabricated

by Turner’s Pipe Fabrication Division, both onsite and at our fabrication facility in Port Allen, Louisiana.

While spools were being fabricated and hydro tested, Turner installed the steel and support structure for the repaired tank. The work was performed in tight quarters with almost daily rainshowers. The job was completed with no health environmental, safety or security (HESS) issues.

“This has been one of the greatest team efforts I’ve ever been associated with in my 30 plus years in this business,” said Turner's Stephanie McCarley, project manager, pipe fabrication.

It was initially estimated that the project would take up to twenty-eight days to complete. Turner’s ability to quickly gather and provide necessary resources in the form of equipment, experienced personnel and pipe fabrication capabilities made it possible for OxyChem to have the unit up and running in only fifteen days.

“I would like to thank all divisions of Turner. Every division responded saying they were available if needed. I would especially like to thank our crane and rigging group, our specialized welding

services, Turner Specialty Services’ NDE and blasting groups, the Port Allen fabrication shop, and our maintenance crews. When a team works together as one, you can accomplish anything,” said Jay Courtney, site manager, Turner Industries .

“On behalf of OxyChem, I would like to express our sincerest gratitude for the outstanding support provided to us by the entire Turner organization in the recent emergency repairs at our Taft site.

Turner made available all of the necessary resources needed and also delivered with exceptional performance in safety, quality of work/craftsmanship and timeliness.

Because of your excellent support and performance, we were able to get the operating unit back online without injury and in a time much shorter than most would have ever believed possible. The care, concern and team work provided by Turner to OxyChem is what made this possible and I want to say thank you and a job well done,”said Louis C. Palmer, plant manager, OxyChem - Taft Operations.

Specialized Transportation Group Hauls s 60 Million Pounds of Steel

Baton Rouge, La. –Over the past ten months, Turner's specialized transportation group has successfully provided services for two major industrial projects. During this period, transportation crews have moved over 60 million pounds of steel in the form of pipe modules and pressure vessels.

Vessels and modules were moved on our Goldhofer PST/SL-E transporters. One of the pipe modules was 175' in length and required a self-propelled modular transporter with 180' of trailer deck. Other modules were 40' in width and 50' tall. All transports were completed with no incidents or injuries to our crews.

“Talk about logistics! Each project required over 600 hours dedicated to the engineering and logistics plan, including permit approval from the US Army Corps of Engineers. Additionally, the La DOTD required review of the soil and paving to accommodate tire loadings. Over 13 agencies were involved for the Specialized Heavy Transport project over state roadways. On top of all this, barge and dock analysis were performed by our engineering staff for the loading of the pipe modules onto barges.”

Harvey HURRICANE

(RIGHT) Turner Industries’ Russell Carter, Brandon Joslin and Savana Joslin, participated in a social media organized effort to feed 1500 people in addition to donating water and household necessities for distribution to those needing essentials.

A MESSAGE TO OUR CLIENTS

H

urricane Harvey brought back strong memories for many of our Baton Rouge employees. Having experienced the devastation from the Flood of 2016 last August, our Baton Rouge employees were eager to return the support received from our Turner family in Texas. In that spirit, a cleaning station with two stand-up showers, two hot water heaters, two washing machines, and dryers were installed in an empty Sea Can by employees from Turner’s Baton Rouge Equipment Yard.

The cleaning station along with pallets of water, ice chests filled with ice and supplies for sandwiches, box fans, dehumidifiers, gallons of mold spray, shop vacuums, one-gallon sprayers, generators, and gas cans were then delivered to Houston and Beaumont by two tractor trailers.

As they’ve done many times before, Turner employees across the Gulf South, rallied together to provide support for their co-workers and their communities. In Corpus Christi, employees set up a cooking station at Ingleside Fire Department along with first responders, police departments and local citizens and provided food for 500 people. In Houston, employees set up a tent and cooked jambalaya for 1,500 people in an effort put together through social media. Donations of household necessities and cases of water were accepted at the event allowing many to pick up needed items. The League City Fire Department and the Houston Police department took part in supporting the event.

Employees in affected areas were sent a Hurricane Survey via email and/or text using Turner’s Blackboard Connect system. This effective communication system enabled Turner to make sure employees were accounted for, and survey responses allowed the matching of needs to available resources (See page 11).

“We know the recovery process will be long and this is just the beginning, but we are committed to providing support where we can to members of our Turner family, our clients and other affected neighbors,” said Thomas Turner, vice chairman and president.

10 FALL 2017

We sincerely hope and pray that your people and facilities are recovering quickly from Hurricane Harvey.

Our initial concern, like yours, was for our own employees and their families affected by the storm. Now that recovery efforts are underway, we wanted you to know that our primary focus businesswise will be servicing you, our industrial clients.

Our resources will be used first and foremost to assist in your operational efforts. This is no change from our mission established at Turner over 50 years ago.

If we can help the remainder of the civilian disaster recovery effort with any spare capability available, we will do what we can.

At times like this, we all feel the extreme urgency to work together. Please do not hesitate to call for any assistance we can give.

Sincerely,

Roland M. Toups Chairman & CEO

communicating with employee/students in craft training programs, dispersing benefits open enrollment information, and stopwork/return-to-work status for specific sites.

Blackboard Connect allows us to customize contact lists, which gives us the ability to message unique contact groups using multiple communication modes. Our contact groups can be based on any searchable field in our enterprise software personnel database as well as other data sources used within our company. We can send urgent information to specific people when necessary, and this reliable, scalable system allows us to send mass messages in groups of 20,000 or more, instantly.

A recent example of the need to use targeted, mass messaging on a large scale was Turner’s first emergency message sent to employees located in the areas affected by Hurricane Harvey. This message included the link to a survey used to determine employees’ specific needs and current conditions following the natural disaster and was part of the initial phase of Turner’s relief effort. Follow-up mass messages were sent to all survey respondents to connect them with recovery resources available in their area. The success of this effort raised awareness of the many communication opportunities possible using Blackboard Connect.

This reliable, scalable system allows us to quickly send mass messages in groups of 20,000 or more.

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Q&A What made you decide to join Turner Industries?

When I was on the owners side (Marathon Petroleum), I had the pleasure of engaging with Turner on several projects. Those successful interactions, coupled with the strategic vision, culture and integrity of the company were factors when deciding to return to the industrial sector from the professional services environment.

What past experiences do you bring with you that will be beneficial to Turner Industries?

Meet Scott Tanley Vice President of Fabrication Sales With 25 years of industry experience, Aaron “Scott” Tanley, has proved to be a valuable addition to the Turner family. Scott joined Turner a year ago and has recently taken over the role of vice president of pipe fabrication sales. His past career experience includes engineering, procurement, construction, and maintenance and turnaround project management. Prior to joining Turner, Scott served as director of operations at Stress Engineering and Construction (Stress Engineering Services, Inc.).

In addition to establishing and leading new/existing business division operations, Scott has been involved in leading construction and specialty projects for the oil and gas, petrochemical,

offshore, power generation and pulp and paper industries, both in the US and international market sectors.

Born in North Carolina, Scott followed his career from the Southeast coast to the Midwest. He moved to Houston in the early 1990s and that's where he found home.

He is married to his wife of 21 years, Rebecca, and together they have three sons: Blane (18), Zachary (11) and Hudson (4).

“Scott is a great addition to our leadership team. Scott’s integrity, energy, and experience fit with our team extremely well. We look for great things to happen to Turner Industries based on his sales leadership and mentorship,” said Warren Landry, executive vice president, Turner Pipe Fabrication.

Having the career diversity, from being a pipefitter/welder to professional services for leading projects and division operations, provides a unique view of business and markets. I hope to leverage past EPC/industrial services and owneroperator experiences to enhance business opportunities and strategies within the Pipe Fabrication Division while equally supporting all areas within the Turner family.

What is your vision for the future as it relates to your new position?

One of my main goals is to support existing business strategies while deploying new growth strategies that support the direction and business drivers of Turner Industries. Successfully develop strong strategic business relationships while maintaining focus and attention to our existing customer base. Through offering sound advice derived from experience, one can provide common alignment with customers and teams. These types of relationships are the foundation for building long-term partnerships which is the ultimate goal.

FROM FORMER PLAYERS TO A HOUSE DIVIDED

A

t Turner Industries, we all wear hard hats with the classic nine-box green logo. In that sense, we’re all proud teammates on the Turner team – each of us committed to common goals of safe work performed in timely and efficient ways in order to drive our clients’ success. It’s not a big leap to say college football mirrors tough working conditions in some circumstances. Former LSU Coach Paul Dietzel once said, “You can learn more character on the two yard line than anywhere else in life.”

Some say college football stirs the soul perhaps more than any other American sport. Below, you will find Turner employees, who, during the work week, play and root for the Turner team, but on Saturday, become fueled with a different fervor. Spoiler alert - we know there are many, many other college football teams, in addition to the ones our employees highlight in this issue.

We salute ALL the teams our employees support.

Years with Turner: 3 Favorite College Football Team? McNeese Cowboys, where I played center 2008-2012. I met a lot of wonderful people while at McNeese State. It’s a great time when we all get back together for a tailgate!

What is your favorite game/play memory when you were a part of the Cowboys? My favorite game was during my freshman season when we played against Appalachian State in Boone, North Carolina. We were underdogs and expected to get pummeled as they had just won their 3rd consecutive national championship the season before. The reason the game sticks out to me the most is because it was my first road trip with the team, my first time on a plane and it was the first time that I got to play as a Cowboy! We were welcomed with fantastic weather that weekend (70° F in early September) and I believe that helped us to play our best game and we came away with a huge victory, 40-35.

Who is your team’s biggest rival this season? The good thing about our conference (Southland Conference) is that many of the schools are within close proximity to each other, which lends itself to many of the games being “rivalry” games. But, in my opinion, the biggest rival this season is Southeastern.

That was a game we lost my senior season and it still stings!

Who is currently your favorite football player? Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay Packers

How do you think teamwork applies to your job? Teamwork is integral for us every day because we all utilize one another as a resource and recognize strengths and abilities of everyone to help make the job run as smoothly as possible. I believe everyone here understands that it’s not a one person show and that it takes all of us working together to achieve our goals of being the best in safety, quality, and production.

It was an honor to have played for a university with such great history and culture. I was also a part of the very first developmental squad in the National Football League with the San Diego Chargers. I played both Tight-End and H-back professionally.

Who is your favorite football coach of all time? Having played football most of my younger days, I was blessed and fortunate enough to have so many great coaches invest their time in me. I can honestly say, I can’t put one above the other; but I would like to take an opportunity to mention Coach Alfred Levy of Fortier High School, Coach Otis Washington of Southern University, and Coach Derrick Price, my position coach at Southern University. Coach Price taught me one of the most important lessons in life; to always make sound choices. And last but not least, Coach Marino H. “The Godfather” Casem of Southern University.

A House Divided Michael Brown Cost Manager

Years with Turner: 7 Favorite College Football Team? Alabama Crimson Tide. My family is from the small town of LaGrange, Georgia. My dad, Ralls Brown, who worked for Turner Industries for over 30 years, had a love for Bear Bryant and Alabama as a child. I guess you can say that a boy’s love for his dad and wanting to be like his dad is what made me a die-hard Bama fan. Alabama football has a special place in my heart.

Who is your team’s biggest rival this season? I must go with Auburn, with LSU being a close second of course!

What is your definition of teamwork? A group of people who come together in a selfless way to accomplish a common goal. There can’t be any hidden agendas or selfish motives in true teamwork.

What is your favorite game day memory with your wife? I’d say my favorite memory is just going back and forth on game day with friendly smack talk. If Bama wins, she typically gives me the cold shoulder after the game. She does get the last laugh during baseball season though.

Tell us about your engagement picture. Who’s idea was that? It was Tana’s idea 100%, but I thought it was a great one. We wanted to show that we are a house divided but we know how to have fun with it!

ENGAGEMENT PHOTO

Tana Compton Brown Business Systems Analyst Years with Turner: 6 Favorite College Football Team? Growing up in South Louisiana it’s hard to not be an LSU fan. I can remember many Saturdays watching football or baseball with my dad & grandpa. I suppose my love for LSU started with them, LSU isn’t just a football team for us, it means getting to spend time with family.

Who is your team’s biggest rival this season? Alabama!

What is your favorite game day memory with your husband? There aren’t too many good memories being on my side of the table when LSU has played Alabama, but I’m anticipating Nick Saban’s retirement any year now!

How often does your job require teamwork? My job is primarily based on teamwork.

GROOM'S CAKE

Being a BSA, we serve as a connection between JDE System Users and the development team. We work with different department users to learn their business processes and determine how JDE can be utilized to meet their needs

What is game day like at your house? When LSU and Bama games are at the same time we often joke about who will get the most TV time. No matter what, game day is always fun with the potential for an Alabama upset and an LSU win. All-in-all we both respect each other’s teams and know that the rivalry is all in good spirit.

We understand that the groom’s cake at your wedding was something very special. Tell us about it. The cake resembled the Alabama logo on the outside, but the inside it was PURPLE & GOLD! During the cake cutting, the venue played the Bama fight song and when we cut the cake to reveal the big surprise they put the LSU fight song on.

It was a great way to celebrate our rivalry at the wedding and to always remember that while Bama may be the front runner now, LSU will always rule the house!

MISSION TO TRANSITION: JD Edwards EnterpriseOne UPDATE FROM MISSION CONTROL We are currently in the final stages of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne® (E1) Mission to Transition project. The transition team of developers, business systems analysts, CSS consultants, power users, and trainers have worked hard for well over a year on developing and testing E1. At this point in the process, new development is ending, and it is time for the everyday user to learn about and plan for their part in the transition.

How will I learn to use E1?

Following User Acceptance Testing (UAT) which occurred in July, the current phase of the transition is heavily based in training users to use the system properly. In order to obtain a log on, all users are required to complete Common Foundations online courses to learn navigation and basic usage of the system. The Common Foundations courses are available to all current JD

When will “Go Live” happen?

Several rounds of intensive testing of E1 have occurred, and each session has provided us with new developments and requirements that are needed. To make the “Go Live” experience more solid, it was decided to move the date to October 30th. This extra month will ensure development is complete and processes are working seamlessly before everything goes into action. This extra time also will allow users more time to prepare themselves better to use the system.

Edwards users through Turner eLearning. We are also offering an instructor-led version of the course for those who want additional hands-on introduction to E1.

In addition to Common Foundations courses, Power Users in each area are training other users on their specific roles within the system. A combination of instructor-led courses, demos, webinars, and online trainings are being offered based on each department’s specific needs. The instructor-led trainings will occur in several locations and is slated for September and October.

Once “Go Live” occurs, we want users to have continuous access to training resources. Therefore, E1 training will be open and available for users to enroll themselves in through Turner eLearning. In-application support will also be available within E1 and can be accessed through the “Help” button in each module of E1.

Nurse Navigator

PROGRAM

H

ealthcare can be a complicated business these days, and there is no one who feels the pressure more than a person with health concerns seeking answers. The Nurse Navigator program, a part of Turner Industries’ “Steps for Healthy Living,” wellness program, provides employees with an opportunity to improve their health while keeping personal health information 100 percent confidential.

The program pairs Turner Industries with health care professionals across our geographic footprint and has become an important part of helping employees “navigate” their way to quality care in a timely fashion.

For those living with a chronic health condition, it can be a challenge, but it is one that can be faced with the right information and support. A Nurse Navigator has access to up-to-date medical and health information.

The nurse can help patients better understand their condition, medications, test results and even help them understand when to report symptoms to their doctor.

This program has produced tremendous results in all locations, including the identification of several urgent medical problems by the Nurse Navigator and an overall lowering of employees’ health risk. Employees receive a $50 incentive payment upon joining the program.

The nurse navigator can help patients better understand their condition, medications, test results and even help them understand when to report symptoms to their doctor.

NURSE NAVIGATOR PROGRAM

TESTIMONIALS BRET MALCOLM Corporate Industrial Hygiene Supervisor, Bret Malcom has taken advantage of The Nurse Navigator program from the moment it became available at the corporate office in 2015. His original motivation to participate in the program was the need for basic health management assistance such as the regulation of his blood pressure, medications and overall health guidance. In 2016, during a trip to Disney World with his family, Bret walked a total 15,000 steps in one day causing him to feel abnormally fatigued and strange. He consulted his nurse navigator Tonya, and she suggested he consult his cardiologist immediately seeing how elevated his blood pressure was. His cardiologist ordered an immediate angiogram which showed a 90 percent blockage in his “widow maker” artery. Bret immediately had surgery for the placement of a stent in his heart saving it from any damage. “Had Tonya not shown her concern about my high blood pressure and guided me to visit my cardiologist I would not have been so prompt to scheduling a visit with him and catching the blockage before it was too late,” said Bret.

GILBERT SIFUENTES Gilbert Sifuentes has been a Turner employee for eight years and currently works in Turner’s QC department at the Pipe Fabrication Facility in Corpus Christi, Texas. Gilbert first decided to join The Nurse Navigator program in July of 2016 because the regulation of his diabetes and blood pressure medications had become an unending battle. Johanna Mettlach, Gilbert’s nurse navigator, was able to recommend a plan of action for Gilbert which included methods of medication regulation, an activity and diet plan, as well as regularly visiting his physician. Over the course of a year he lost a total of 26 pounds, following Johanna and his physician’s recommendations. “I feel happier and healthier,” says Gilbert. He makes an effort to visit Johanna monthly where they review his blood pressure and sugar levels, etc. and compare them to those from the previous months. Based on these results, they discuss the changes that must be made to further improve Gilbert’s health. “She does not beat around the bush with me. She tells me exactly what’s going on with my health and how I will get better,” said Gilbert.
