Investigation Summary
At 12:00 p.m. on January 14, 2016, Employee #1 who was a foreman with Grabers Excavating, Inc., and employee #2 who was a laborer, were cutting and chipping an approximately 5,000 pound slab of concrete on the top of the Preliminary Treatment Structure (name of the building). This is a pre-treatment building where screening and grit removal from the wastewater influent occurs. The slab that collapsed covers the cone shaped structure where sand and grit is allowed to settle and collect. The demolition occurs so that the process will be decommissioned and replaced by a different grit removal process.

Employee #1 was completely covered by the concrete slab that collapsed and was killed.
