Trade Journals for the Concrete Industry

The Turner Company is a family-owned precast firm founded in 2001 and based in Rhome, Texas at the Northwest corner of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. “This is one of the fastest growing regions in Texas,” says Sales Manager Marty Anderson. “And we’ve grown right along with it.” Starting in 2012, Turner Company added a new product to their line of precast manholes that has become a major source of growth. “We started making some of our manholes with an anti-corrosion product called ConmicShield®, and after Dallas started specifying it, it really took off,” Anderson explains. “Now there are three more metroplex cities specifying this product for new manholes—Irving, Rockwall, and Celina—and Fort Worth and a few others are looking at it. And one city, McKinney, has specified it for sewer lines with diameters of 18 inches or more. It’s really proving to be a high quality and cost effective solution for sewer manholes.”
