The Turner Company Alliance Team (All Turner Companies) recently achieved significant safety milestones within the Shell / Motiva Alliance located at Convent and Norco. On August 18th the Turner team achieved 1,000,000 work hours and 11 months without a recordable injury. In addition, on October 6th, the Norco site also reached 1,000,000 work hours and 20 months without a recordable injury. The Alliance management team Troy Bergeron – Alliance Manager, Don Featherstone – Convent Site Manager, Rodney Landry – Norco Site Manager, David Butler – Turnaround Manager, and Larry Thyre – Turnaround Manager appreciates the continuous improvement effort of our employees. Turner also realizes that our positive performance in safety would not be possible without the commitment and participation from Shell Chemical and Motiva Enterprises’ employees across the locations working day to day in the process. As it is important to recognize these milestone achievements, it is equally important to continue to partner together to prevent injuries as we execute the current and near future major turnaround events. The team is confident that we are building a great foundation to create an excellent safety, health and environmental culture for Shell, Motiva and all contractors across the locations. Remember, Excellence is exceeding all expectations in Health, Safety, and Environmental Performance. Back to Index

Turner Company, L.L.C. was awarded an evergreen contract by CII Carbon, for the Supplemental Maintenance work at the Norco and Chalmette, Louisiana sites. Turner Company is also providing turnaround planning, scheduling, and coordination expertise for all five of the CII Carbon sites located in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Illinois. Turner Company, L.L.C. was selected from a group of four contractors. Turner was chosen based on their solid reputation, the vast range of services provided, and Turner’s management commitment to bringing the CII Carbon sites to a world-class producer of calcined petroleum. CII Carbon, L.L.C. (CII) is the third largest producer of calcined petroleum coke in the world. Their experience in serving the world’s aluminum industry dates from 1959. They are independently owned, which allows them to focus on growth opportunities in coke calcimine and mutually beneficial long-term relationships with suppliers and customers. CII Carbon operations include calcining plants in the United States, with a total annual production of over one million tons of calcined coke. CII produces two primary products, calcined delayed petroleum coke used primarily by aluminum producers for anode manufacture, and calcined fluid petroleum coke used as a packing material in anode baking furnaces.

IMC recently received high marks at the Vulcan Chemicals site in Geismar, LA, for positively impacting Vulcan’s bottom line. Vulcan, like many of our customers, is dealing with the impact of natural gas prices, and solicited Turner’s help in finding ways to lower costs. The IMC/Turner group immediately responded with a proposal to restructure both the maintenance and project efforts. Rodney Gremillion, Vulcan Maintenance Manager, had this to say about the IMC/Turner efforts, “The partnering relationship that Vulcan has with IMC/Turner is one that has really made a difference. I am extremely pleased with the progress that we have made at the Geismar site. IMC/Turner really stepped up to the plate and helped us during these tough times by downsizing the labor force, increasing productivity, and restructuring the capital project process. Everyone on site is totally committed to doing whatever it takes. Consequently, many of the IMC employees are wearing many hats, and are more involved with the Vulcan Maintenance and Production personnel. IMC is putting forth a lot of effort and it is appreciated at both the site and corporate levels. I am also pleased with the response from the Vulcan Maintenance and Production personnel, who are working closely with IMC/Turner to make the Geismar efforts a success.” “In addition to the maintenance efforts, Turner’s increased involvement with the Vulcan Engineering group has had a positive impact as well. All small capital work is now funneled through IMC, eliminating costs of redundant administrative positions created when multiple contractors are working at the site. By implementing the IMC/Turner management systems, IMC/Turner is able to provide the Vulcan Engineers with the type of information so vital to the success of project work. And the increased communication and cooperation between Vulcan Engineers and IMC has allowed for better coordination of project schedules, so that the capital manpower remains at an even level year round.” Below are the positive changes recently made by IMC/Turner at the Geismar site: -Decrease in workforce – Increased Productivity Maintenance personnel numbers were decreased by 21% or 38 people, however, remaining personnel have kept up with work to be performed through increased efficiency and productivity efforts. -Lower Emergency Work Orders and Overtime Even with a lower workforce, Vulcan and IMC’s commitment to lowering costs have resulted in decreasing overtime from 18% to 2% and Emergency Work Orders from 40% to 15%. -Improved Scheduling By working closely with Vulcan Maintenance and Production, weekly schedules are more accurate and efforts to adhere to the schedules have helped IMC operate more efficiently with less people. -Improved Small Capital Process Turner’s Project Control System (PCS) was implemented to provide better estimating, tracking, and projection capabilities. IMC is working more closely with Project Engineers to ensure that projects are prioritized and scheduled 6 months in advance so that peaks and valleys in manning is eliminated or minimized. -On Site Pipe Fabrication Vulcan’s commitment to Turner’s planning and execution of the small capital work has increased the need for fast turnover of pipe fabrication. IMC is fabrication the vast majority of this pipe on site, minimizing field delays. Back to Index

Over the years Turner Industries has continued to look for ways to improve our future workforce with skills necessary to meet the demands of our industry. To do this we’ve sought to influence the curriculum and perception of the high schools in the Baton Rouge area. The message is clear; a career in industrial construction is challenging and rewarding, and the time to prepare is now. In cooperation with area school boards and the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), Turner has adopted the following schools: St. Amant H.S. adopted by: Harmony, LLC Baker H.S. Harmony, LLC Istrouma H.S. Harmony, LLC East Ascension H.S. IMC, LLC Dutchtown H.S. Turner Company, LLC The three way adoption agreements are renewed on an annual basis. The high school agrees to follow training recommendations of ABC and Turner. ABC promises to assist in all aspects of training and to provide facilities when necessary. We agree to provide materials and guidance to help the programs produce students that will lead us to the future. On Tuesday, July 29, ABC sponsored an event that allowed for the member contractors and the adopted schools to meet to renew the adoption agreement for the new school year (2003/2004). Representatives from each of our schools were present to participate. The following individuals represented Turner Industries: Dwight Braud (Turner Company, LLC and IMC, LLC), Wayne Tucker (Harmony, LLC), David Eastridge (Harmony, LLC), Paige Braud (Turner Industries), and Ray Neck (Turner Industries). At the July 29 event, Dutchtown HS was added as one of Turner’s adopted schools. Turner Company, LLC, represented by Dwight Braud, agreed to sponsor this new venture. “In today's world of ever-changing circumstances surrounding the issues that influence the demand for skilled labor, it is incumbent upon us, as employers, to find the best prospects and train them to excel. There is no better crop to harvest than the one planted in the halls of our neighborhood schools. Here we will find the roots of our community, our people, and our industry, trained in our programs for our own industry. ABC, along with Turner Industries and the leadership at EA and Dutchtown, will be providing a three way partnership that will produce the future skills necessary to keep the Petrochem, Power, Pulp and Paper, and Refining industries competing in the world marketplace.” Back to Index

When entering the Louisiana Arts & Science Museum, visitors are treated to a beautiful atrium/gallery that connects the Irene W. Pennington Planetarium with the existing museum. This striking and dramatic space has been named the Bert S. Turner Family Atrium, Mestrovic Gallery in recognition of benefactors Sue and Bert Turner and the artist whose work it showcases. The Turners have been involved with the museum since its beginning. Sue Turner, along with Adalié Brent, LASM’s first executive director, brought the sculpture of Ivan Mestrovic (1883-1962) to LASM and has been instrumental in maintaining the museum’s relationship with the Mestrovic family. Croatian sculptor Ivan Mestrovic (1883-1962) rose from humble beginnings to study art at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and later to be included in exhibitions with the avant-garde Vienna Secession artists. He was called "the greatest phenomenon among sculptors" of his day by master sculptor Rodin. By 1911, his talent was recognized internationally. During World War II, Mestrovic left Europe and came to the United States. He accepted a teaching position at Syracuse University and later at the University of Notre Dame. In 1947, the Metropolitan Museum of Art honored him with a one-man show–the first time in the museum’s then 75-year history that it extended this privilege to a living artist. “This is the first time the Mestrovic collection has been brought together at LASM. This elegant gallery will serve as a gathering place for visitors as well as a space for galas and receptions. We are very pleased to have the Turner family associated with such an important part of LASM. All family members have had significant volunteer involvement with the museum,” LASM Executive Director Carol Gikas said. LASM owns America’s second largest museum collection of Mestrovic works. Some of his monumental works are housed in three museum properties in Croatia, where he is considered the greatest artist in the country’s history and remains a cultural hero. In addition to works at LASM, Mestrovic sculptures are in various locations in Baton Rouge, including the Catholic Life Center, St. Joseph’s Cathedral, B’nai Israel Synagogue and the Riverside Complex Theater for the Performing Arts and Plaza.  Back to Index

October 15, 2003 Most of you have seen information circulated related to Turner’s Corporate Travel Management Program that is in the process of being implemented. Turner has secured the services of Travelcorp International – as a result, Turner is in the process of developing an intranet-based travel home page, which will provide employees with multiple options for booking air, hotel, and car rental reservations. For employees who prefer letting professional travel consultants handle their travel needs, e-mail addresses and phone numbers to a team of designated Travelcorp travel consultants will be available – for employees who prefer researching on their own, Turner’s travel home page will include links to an on-line reservations system which searches 25 different websites to identify and book the lowest fares available, as well as a direct link to “SWA BIZ”, Southwest Airlines’ on-line reservations system. The target date for implementation of this program is set for December 1, 2003. Upon full implementation of the corporate travel program, all employees traveling on company business will be required to utilize Travelcorp when making travel arrangements. The tools provided will also be available for employees’ personal travel needs. All employees requiring access to Turner’s travel web page will need to obtain a login ID and password, and will also be required to set up a personal profile with pertinent travel data (i.e., name, department/business unit, credit card information, frequent traveler program information, etc.). If you have any questions, or have not received correspondence regarding gaining access to Turner’s travel home page, please contact Leslie Esquivel, Turner’s Internal Audit Manager, at 1-800-288-6503, ext. 2127. Management is confident that the corporate travel program will prove beneficial to Turner and it’s employees – we appreciate your help in making it a success! Sincerely, Roland M. Toups Chairman & CEO  Back to Index
