Turner Industries Presents "Crew of the Month"

This Turner Industries rope access crew was recently recognized for their performance supporting work on Sphere 531. This team set the tone through strong rope access planning, detailed safety action plans, and active field involvement to identify and control hazards before work began. Their preparation, ownership of the plan, and disciplined execution ensured the job was completed safely and without incident.

We are proud to recognize the Tank 19 team for their professionalism and attention to detail. During inspection of a rolloff box tied to the blind-removal task, the team identified a hole on the side of the box before it was placed into service. Their prompt action ensured it was removed safely and prevented a potential environmental issue.

The employees from Brett Oakman’s crew who safely and efficiently worked on the K1, K1B and K80 Window Mitigation project are September’s Crew of the Month. With a combination of scaffolds and manlifts and constant foot traffic in and around the area, they were able to to finish the upgrades and repairs, keeping safety a top priority.

Turner commends the crews who worked alongside Citgo during last month’s emergency response at the CLAW facility. Our team collaborated across work areas, providing assistance under Citgo’s direction and helping maintain operational focus and continuity during this critical situation. We value their professionalism and are grateful for the opportunity to support Citgo during this important response.

This May, we’re recognizing the exceptional 30-person Turner crew from Sulphur, Louisiana, for their outstanding work on the CITGO Coker 1 Outage/Sluiceway Rail Repair project. This team not only completed the project significantly ahead of schedule and under budget, but they also did it with a perfect safety record, achieving zero recordable incidents. Their scope of work included demolishing and disposing of 430 linear feet of concrete, salvaging and reinforcing existing rebar, and securing new foundations.

Carl Lockhart, CITGO Construction Manager, had high praise for the crew, stating, “Overall the project performance from Turner was excellent, and that reflects directly on the supervision that was involved from the planning stages and throughout the outage. Turner supervision did an outstanding job staying ahead on making sure the crews had everything they needed to perform the task for each shift without delays. Thanks again for all of the hard work and effort that was put into this project to make it a success.”
