Turner Industries’ ONE Solution Approach Earns High Praise from Arkema

Turner Industries recently applied its ONE Solution approach to successfully complete work for the Arkema Beaumont, Texas, production plant’s expansion project.

The 12-month project encompassed a wide scope of work, including site preparation, piling installation, foundation construction, underground firewater systems, equipment setting, and tower internals installation.

By leveraging the expertise of multiple Turner divisions and groups, the project was executed with precision and efficiency, and the Turner team’s commitment to safety resulted in a zero-incident record. The Arkema expansion is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2025.

Turner Industries has assembled a ‘top grade’ personnel team that delivered ‘high-level craftsmanship’ and ‘set the bar’ for safety performance,” said Rich Torres, senior construction manager for Arkema. “This group is the definition of ‘112%,’ and I’m grateful for the opportunity to work with them.
