Employee electrocuted when power line arcs to excavator

On July 16, 2007, Employee #1 was working on the ground while a Komatsu excavator was moving a 20 in. reclaimed iron ductile water pipe into position for installation alongside a roadway. As the pipe was being moved, the excavator came near the overhead 14,400-volt, C-phase overhead power lines, which arced to the excavator's boom. Employee #1 was touching the pipe when the arc occurred, and he was electrocuted.
