Investigation Summary
At approximately 1:55 p.m. on December 3, 2003, Employee #1 was inspecting the rebar structure assembly of a bridge under construction over the Napa River in Napa, California. The falsework, which was erected to support the future poured concrete bridge deck, collapsed while being graded with a system of hydraulic jacks and wedges. The failure occurred at Bent Number 122, which kicked out westward, causing all beams, formwork, and reinforcing steel mats between Bents Number 121 and Number 123 to fall to the ground. Employee #1 rode the falling deck structure approximately 30 ft to the ground and lacerated his face. He was hospitalized.
