Led by Site Manager Donald Russell Jr., Mechanical Superintendent Chris Lee, and SIPA Superintendent Marvin Turner, the team delivered what the client called “phenomenal” performance. Key crew leaders Tyler Addison, Freddie Ausbrooks, Alex Boudreaux, Robin Verela, and Darryl Bell helped generate 184 safety cards while maintaining perfect safety records.
The transformation from 2024’s challenges included enhanced heat management, strengthened mentorship programs, and proactive safety engagement. Feedback from Eastman highlighted this improvement: “Turner made huge strides from 2024 to 2025, showing remarkable improvement. The preparedness was second to none.”
