Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Founded at the start of the 1900s in New York City, where it is still headquartered, Turner Construction Company has become one of the largest contractors in the U.S. and boasts an international presence in several countries. Industrial Info is tracking billions of dollars' worth of projects on which Turner is at work in the U.S., with the data center sector and Pharmaceutical-Biotech Industry representing a substantial portion of the company's activity, although projects across several other areas abound.
Some of the largest projects on which Turner is at work represent some of the largest projects in the U.S., including airport renovations in San Diego, California, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The San Diego project is the larger of the two, entailing the replacement of an entire terminal by constructing a 1.2 million-square-foot building with 30 gates, an expanded airside apron, new security lanes, areas for restaurants and shops, as well as additional security checkpoints. Work kicked off in 2021, and 19 gates are expected to begin operating in the late summer of this year. The remaining 11 gates are expected to begin operating in 2028.

Industrial Info is tracking more than $20 billion worth of U.S. data center projects involving Turner, and although not all of these have broken ground yet, they all have been classed as a having a medium or high (70-99%) probability of proceeding as planned. One of the largest of these is for a multibillion-dollar artificial intelligence-enabled data center for Meta Platforms Incorporated (NASDAQ:META) (Menlo Park, California) in northern Louisiana. Construction began recently at the site, and although only the first 445,000-square-foot data hall is being built at the moment, the complex eventually could include nine buildings totaling approximately 4 million square feet. The size of the project warrants additional contractors, and Turner is one of three at work on the project. The first phase of construction is expected to be completed next summer. Construction of a second data center building is expected to kick off this fall, putting it on track for completion in the waning months of 2026. The project is a long-term endeavor, with the ninth and final building expected to be up and running in 2030. Subscribers can learn more by viewing the related project reports.
The U.S. Pharmaceutical-Biotech Industry accounts for more than $10 billion worth of active Turner projects, ranging from research laboratories to manufacturing plants to academic institutions. One of Turner's current projects involves an item that affects millions of Americans: contact lenses. Having recently completed a two-year building renovation for Johnson & Johnson's (NYSE:JNJ) (New Brunswick, New Jersey) vision subsidiary in Jacksonville, Florida, Turner has now moved on to more specialized work at the facility, installing multiple production lines and cleanroom suites to increase Johnson & Johnson's production of Acuvue disposable contact lenses. While the building renovations lasted nearly two years, this second piece of the project is moving faster and expected to be completed in the coming months.

The automotive sector also features in Turner's activity, mostly in the form of lithium-ion battery plants, although the company is wrapping up at least one vehicle assembly plant for BMW (Munich, Germany). In early 2023, Turner began work on an expansion project at BMW's plant near Spartanburg, South Carolina, as general contractor. Working with various electrical, mechanical and plumbing subcontractors, Turner is responsible for adding an 850,000-square-foot building to the 7 million-square-foot complex along with equipment and supporting systems to prepare the plant for the production of electric vehicles. On announcing the project in 2022, a BMW executive said that the site was gearing up to produce six electric BMW models by 2030. The project is nearing completion.
