Turner Industries – Environmental Specialty Services

Recognizing the unique challenges faced by each industry, we provide customized solutions that address specific needs while ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations. Our services are designed to reduce environmental risks while optimizing resource recovery.

Turner Specialty Services stays at the forefront of environmental technology. We employ innovative techniques and tools to maximize efficiency and results while minimizing environmental impact. For example, our advanced acid tar fluidization techniques eliminate the need for manual intervention, and our innovative dredging technology allows for remote operations without exposing personnel to hazardous environments.

Our team is dedicated to maintaining the highest safety standards, ensuring that all projects are executed without incident and with a focus on protecting the environment. 

Our capability is demonstrated through our extensive project experience and exceptional safety record. For instance, at an alumina refinery in Louisiana, TSS has provided turnkey material handling, maintenance, and environmental support services, contributing to industry best practices and client satisfaction. A few more of our success stories include:

1. Maintaining Dewatering Systems for Over 30 Years

TSS oversees environmental projects for a major chemical manufacturer across multiple facilities in Louisiana, Tennessee, and Texas. Our team specializes in dredging and dewatering operations for both lined and unlined surface impoundments. These dewatering programs focus on minimizing waste and recovering byproducts for beneficial reuse.

To date, TSS has safely treated over 20 million gallons of wastewater at these facilities using innovative technologies, significantly reducing offsite disposal costs. Notably, at one location, we have maintained dewatering systems for over 30 years, efficiently reclaiming process byproducts for reuse as a state-exempted agricultural soil amendment.

2. Incident-Free Since 2017

Since 2017, TSS has been an incident-free contractor at a manufacturing facility in southeastern North Carolina. We offer a complete range of environmental maintenance and industrial support services, including impoundment dredging, dewatering, landfill maintenance, levee construction, and dam structure upkeep.

TSS also provides turnkey environmental and industrial support services for pulp and paper manufacturers across the United States. Our services encompass surface impoundment maintenance, including sediment dredging and dewatering, as well as landfill management involving waste collection, transport, and operation.

At pulp and paper facilities, we provide extensive safety and administrative oversight, material screening and classification, and the construction of new landfill cells. Our scope also includes surveys and documentation, stormwater management, civil construction, recycling and reuse, and round-the-clock supplemental support, such as rail switching, material handling, and equipment maintenance.
