Turner did not provide financial information but did give information on Dornan’s activity and backlog.

“Dornan’s 1,000 direct employees will deliver approximately US$760 million of work in 2024,” Turner said. “Dornan’s backlog of work is approximately $1.2 billion.”

The transaction is subject to the merger control approval process in the European Union.

Turner said Dornan is an engineering contractor with specialities in mechanical, electrical, instrumentation and commissioning with operations in the UK, continental Europe and the Nordics.

“Dornan delivers services on complex large-scale projects for blue-chip clients in the advanced technology sector, including data centres and biopharma facilities,” added Turner. “The group also delivers key projects for clients in the industrial, healthcare, commercial, aviation, and education sectors.”

The US contractor said the move would help ‘accelerate growth’ in Europe.

The company’s executive vice president Mike Kuntz said, “Turner has identified $20 billion of advanced technology project opportunities in Europe.”

Peter Davoren, president and CEO of Turner, added, “The combination of Turner and Dornan will enable us to offer a broader range of services and solutions that our clients seek in Europe.”
