Turner and OQ Chemicals Take Control: Safe Cooling Tower Demolition

Last summer, concerns arose when a decommissioned cooling tower in the tank farm at the OQ Chemicals’ facility in Bishop, Texas showed signs of deterioration. With the hurricane season approaching, it became evident that the tower needed to be demolished to avert potential risks. The primary concern was the possibility that a severe storm could cause the cooling tower to collapse, jeopardizing the adjacent towers and potentially causing additional substantial damage and safety hazards.

The OQ Chemicals demolition project was put out for proposal and subsequently awarded to a third-party contractor. However, before the demolition process could begin, substantial preparation work had to be completed. The on-site maintenance team, which consists of both OQ Chemicals and Turner personnel, began preparing the tower. This included the removal of utilities, bridges, water supply mechanisms, and motor cowling.

After several weeks of focused preparation, the onsite maintenance team grew confident in its ability to

safely complete the demolition without external contractors. Together, members of the OQ Chemicals and Turner maintenance teams meticulously and methodically demolished the tower without the need for external contractors.

“The success of this project not only strengthens the safety of our infrastructure but it also serves as a testament to the exceptional skills and initiative of our team. This was a proactive solution that addressed safety risks. OQ Chemicals is proud to have partners who share our commitment to safety and exemplify the true essence of effective leadership through collaboration,” said OQ Chemicals Site Manager Raymond Sweeney.

“Each member of the maintenance team played a critical role in ensuring the success of this project and the safety of everyone involved. Our combined efforts with Turner not only brought down a physical structure, but also raised our standards of performance,” said OQ Chemicals Maintenance Team Lead Marcus Rubio.

MobilOps ® Launches Innovative Behavior-Based Safety Tool

Behavior-based safety (BBS) involves applying the science of behavior change to address safety issues. BBS centers on observing and understanding people’s actions, scrutinizing the reasons behind these actions, and then employing research-backed intervention strategies to enhance these behaviors. BBS is not founded on assumptions, personal sentiments, or common knowledge. For it to be effective, a BBS program must be rooted in scientific knowledge (i.e., data collected). Data previously collected during time-consuming paper processes can now be captured digitally via the MobilOps ® FieldVision ® application.

Giovanni Van Leeve

Current Title: Turnover Manager

Hailing from the land down under, Australia, Giovanni embarked on a thrilling journey two decades ago when he packed his bags and headed for the United States, all thanks to his career as a bodyguard. However, when his time as a bodyguard ended, Giovanni turned to the advice of his family, a clan brimming with engineers, and decided to dive headfirst into the world of construction. After working for a couple different contractors, Giovanni found his true home at Turner, where he’s been working for over a decade, currently holding the role of turnover manager.

A Quick Q & A with Giovanni

What is your job title and responsibilities? As a turnover manager, I’m involved in the entire lifecycle of work packages, from planning to resource allocation and project execution. I coordinate between the construction and quality departments, ensuring the successful delivery of finished projects to our valued clients.

What led to your position at Turner? About a decade ago, I had the pleasure of crossing paths with Allen Phillips during one of my gym sessions. Little did I know that this encounter would lead me to a fulfilling career at Turner that has been nothing short of fantastic. My journey here began with the task of reviewing work packages for completeness. From there, I ventured into the role of a field engineer before transitioning into project controls. Roughly six years back, I took on the role of a turnover coordinator, closely collaborating with the quality department. This was a pivotal step that eventually led to my current position as a turnover manager.

Why was Turner the right fit for you? Turner is more than just a workplace. When you work for Turner, you’re treated like you’re family. People genuinely care about each other here, and that’s very important to me.

What is something about you people might not know? Before my career in construction, I spent eight years as a bodyguard. This journey began when I completed high school and entered a bodyguard training academy in Australia. It provided me with the unique opportunity to work closely with high-profile public figures such as Nelson Mandela (before he became president of South Africa), Michael Jackson, Tina Turner, and Whitney Houston. While it was a challenging and exciting career, it also allowed me to connect with people from diverse backgrounds.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received? “Failure is a stepping stone to success.” This was shared with me by Nelson Mandela during my early days as a young bodyguard. It taught me the importance of resilience, learning from mistakes, and cherishing the path to success.

What are your top three life highlights so far? Meeting George Strait Sr., the father of the legendary country singer, in Pearsall, Texas, and collaborating on the construction and repair of a church was a significant life highlight. Another memorable experience has been my time spent with historic figures and influential icons. Lastly, joining the Turner team has undoubtedly been a remarkable journey.
