The Right People With The Right Tools Make All The Difference On Your Site
"We are a very demanding company. We expect the best. We expect things to be executed timely, effectively, with the right people and the right tools, and we know that we are going to get that with GPRS.”
Turner Construction’s commitment to making a difference can be seen on its jobsites around the globe each and every day.

RON COVO’S “TOP FIVE BEST PRACTICES” FOR SAFER JOB SITES
“The construction industry in general really looks toward Turner as a leader. For instance, they don’t call subcontractors ‘subs,’ but Strategic Trade Partners. It’s the Turner Culture; when you work with them, you do feel part of Turner. It’s not 17 different contractors on a site. It’s a Turner job site.”
DATA CONTROL = DAMAGE CONTROL
The CGA’s DIRT Report Shows 203,618 unique utility line strikes in 2021 alone.
Every Sector Saw a Substantial Increase Over The Previous Year, And 65.81% (134,000) of those strikes were due to poor or missing utility locates and substandard excavation practices.
In the Last 21 Years, Strikes Like Those Have Led to $1.7 Billion in damages, 1,906 injuries, and 421 deaths On Job sites Across the U.S.
Your Ground Disturbance Policy provides some measure of control, but only if your subcontractors adhere to it. That’s why it is vital to have accurate and updated as built information that you can share with your team. Because the team with the best data and communications makes the least mistakes.
A TOOL IS ONLY AS POWERFUL AS THE PERSON USING IT
