Turner Industries’ capital projects group successfully completed a civil, structural, and mechanical project at Bayer’s Luling Crop Science facility in Luling, Louisiana. Initially tasked with installing four new high-pressure brine injection pumps, the project’s scope expanded significantly. Despite the substantial increase in scope, the project was delivered within budget, ahead of schedule, and OSHA recordable free.
Teamwork was the foundation of this project’s success. The strength of our small, 11-man Turner team, which self-performed nearly 100% of the work, enabled exceptional coordination and shared ownership. Even when Hurricane Francine introduced several days of lost time, we collectively made up for the lost time through extra hours and weekends. We did whatever it took to make this project successful.”— Turner Industries Superintendent Anthony ‘Tony’ DeLuca
An 11-person Turner team completed the work over 14 weeks, operating within an existing deep well pump area, located near the facility’s firewater ponds. The full scope included clearing a 20-by-50-foot area of existing concrete and pump pads, pouring approximately 80 cubic yards of new concrete for four new pump pads and miscellaneous pipe support foundations, setting and pre-aligning four new high-pressure pumps and motors, installing one new building and 35 CTS and MPS pipe supports, and installing suction, high-pressure, and low-pressure discharge lines, including 500 linear feet of specialized Hastelloy and lined piping, and executing six critical tie-ins.
