Investigation Summary
On October 4, 2002, Employee #1 was attempting to dewater a newly constructed 20-inch natural gas pipeline. For some reason, a malfunction occurred and the pipe violently separated. Employee #1 was struck by a 10-foot section of the flying pipe. The pipe was not properly anchored at the pipe sections, especially at bends, to restrain movement caused by surges in water and air pressure. Employee #1 was hospitalized and treated for a concussion. Employee #1 died due to his injuries.
