NEW ONE-STOP HIRING
MAKING SENSE OF INSPECTIONS
The slab has been poured for a new personnel facility at our
Turner Specialty Services’ inspection group’s new technologies take human senses to new levels.
SHOP RISES IN HOUSTON
office complex in Pasadena, Texas. This will be Turner’s third one-stop-shop hiring facility designed to make the hiring process as easy as possible for our new employees while at the same time getting them to the job sites more quickly. The facility is scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2020.
ESTIMATING ON CLOUD
NINE
Our Pipe Fabrication Division is stepping up their estimating game with a new version of WinTake®, our proprietary estimating software application. WinTake® now uses a cloud-based behavioral analytics platform to identify trends, giving estimators the ability to set strategic goals and estimate more quickly and precisely than ever. The Division is also implementing an electronic “Time Entry” module (part of Turner Tablet application) designed to provide a more accurate estimate of cost and time for proposals.
OPTICAL GAS IMAGING – Delivers the optimum solution for the detection of methane and other hydrocarbon gases. ACOUSTIC EMISSION TESTING (AE) – Uses
sound to detect defects of tanks and vessels allowing for early detection before serious damage can occur.
TOUCH POINT CORROSION – Used to detect
and quantify corrosion in inaccessible areas such as behind pipe supports, under pipe clamps, under vessel supports, and tank floor critical zones while in service.
MODULAR FABRICATION–
PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER Our modular fabrication group kicked off 2020 in their new digs, a 4,200-square-foot office, part of the modular fabrication yard in Port Allen, Louisiana. With the recent pivot towards modularization on heavy industrial construction projects, this group is gearing up for their biggest year ever.

THE FUTURE OF FABRICATION TECHNOLOGY LOOKS SHARP The future has landed at our fabrication facility in Decatur, Alabama with the recent investment of two state-of-the-art machines. The latest in cutting technology for specialty fabrication, the Messer Titan III has the ability to cut flat and curved material from 26 gauge to 2" plate thickness and provides precise machine motion accuracy. The Titan III cuts production time in half, saving clients time and money. Another member of the latest structural fabrication technology, the beamline machine greatly speeds up the processing of steel beams providing an exponentially faster product turnaround and substantial cost savings. 18 WINTER 2020
