Turner completes Dornan acquisition
The partnership expands Turner’s and Dornan’s European presence, advances technical service offerings, and drives growth in the advanced technology market.
Turner Construction Company, a leading construction services firm, has announced the successful closing of its acquisition of Dornan Group, a leading Irish-headquartered specialist mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, and engineering contractor.
Peter Davoren, Chairman and CEO of Turner Construction Company said: “Our cultural alignment is key to forming a partnership that is about building something greater together. Dornan brings incredible strength to Turner, and this partnership uniquely positions us to serve our global clients better – particularly in the rapidly expanding advanced technology market.”
Brian Acheson, CEO of Dornan Group, added, “Joining the Turner family is a momentous occasion for Dornan. This partnership is a growth opportunity for both companies. It enables us to extend our geographic reach and expertise, serve our clients better, and create exciting opportunities for our talented people working on some of the largest and most complex construction projects in Europe.”
Dornan will benefit from Turner’s extensive general contracting experience enabling cutting-edge end-to-end solutions for global clients on complex projects. In turn, Turner will gain Dornan’s deep specialization in mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and engineering, as well as its proven ability to execute large-scale technical projects.
The combined strength of Turner and Dornan creates a dynamic synergy, leveraging Turner’s $33 billion of backlog and Dornan’s more than €1.6 billion of backlog. This collaboration ensures access to an expanded portfolio of projects and resources, empowering both organizations to excel in delivering innovative, sustainable solutions.
Dornan will continue to operate under its established brand name, now as “Dornan – A Turner Company.” The current leadership team will remain in place, ensuring continuity for employees, clients, and partners.
This acquisition reflects Turner’s strategic focus on global growth while maintaining its leadership in North America. Both companies are poised to capture the exciting opportunities presented by advanced technology markets, with over $20 billion in potential projects already identified in Europe.
