One of the largest private sector projects in the United States-Marathon Petroleum's Garyville, Louisiana, major refinery expansion-required the simultaneous construction of the neighboring Air Products facility that provides the hydrogen and steam needed for the refinery's operation. As Air Products' general mechanical contractor for both the Mechanical I and II Phases of the 120 million standard cubic feet diameter H₂ facility project, Turner Industries' detailed project scope included 133 work packages and an original work schedule of five 10-hour days per week. We self-performed the majority of the work, including structural steel, equipment, piping, refractory, brick work, convection insulation and catalyst loading. The project was completed with zero OSHA recordable injuries and on-time delivery of all mechanical systems.

For this project, Associated Builders and Contractors awarded Turner Industries with an Excellence In Construction Award (Industrial $15-25 million category), an honor given annually to outstanding projects from across the nation.
