Turner Industries expands Louisiana pipe fabrication ops
Written by Kristen DiLandro
Turner Industries said it’s dedicating two state-of-the-art nuclear fabrication facilities in New Iberia and Port Allen, La., to producing high-precision modules and nuclear-grade piping.
The initiative, according to the Baton Rouge, La.-based industrial construction, maintenance, fabrication, and equipment maker, will produce specialized piping systems essential for advanced reactor safety and cooling.
Turner Industries CEO Stephen Toups believes the initiative realizes the US’ vision for energy independence by advancing the deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
“These Louisiana facilities and their capabilities represent a commitment in our workforce and our state. By specializing in modular fabrication and ASME Section III certified piping, we are ensuring that much of the next wave of nuclear innovation is ‘Built in Louisiana,’” Toups said.
Turner announced its plans at the inaugural Louisiana Nuclear Strategy and Supply Chain Summit in New Orleans.
