Investigation Summary
TWO CONSTRUCTION WORKERS WERE USING A HYDRAULIC JACK TO RAISE A 30 INCH CONCRETE REINFORCED STEEL PIPE ABOUT 1 1/2 INCHES ABOVE ITS WOODEN SUPPORT SO THAT A CONNECTING VALVE COULD BE INSTALLED ON A "T" JOINT. THE PIPE WAS 99.28 FEET LONG AND WEIGHED 27,917 POUNDS. BEGINNING AT THE VALVE END, THE TWO WORKERS LIFTED THE PIPE AND INSERTED SECTIONS OF 2 BY 4 BETWEEN THE TOP OF THE SUPPORTS AND THE BOTTOM OF THE PIPE. THEY PROCEEDED DOWN THE LENGTH OF THE PIPE IN THIS MANNER. WITH ABOUT 1/3 OF THE PIPE REMAINING, THEY NOTICED THAT WHEN THEY JACKED UP THE PIPE AT THAT LOCATION THAT THE LAST 2 OR 3 INSERTS THEY HAD INSTALLED NO LONGER WERE IN CONTACT WITH THE PIPE. ALSO, THE LAST 1/3 OF THE PIPE SLANTED DOWNWARDS, CAUSING THE PIPE TO BE PULLED IN THAT DIRECTION. WHEN THE JACK LIFTED THE NEXT SECTION THE PIPE WAS RELEASED TO MOVE LATERALLY, COLLAPSING ALL THE SUPPORTS WHICH HAD BEEN INSTALLED. A THIRD EMPLOYEE (EMPLOYEE #1) WAS PINNED BETWEEN THE PIPE AND "T" CONNECTION AND KILLED INSTANTLY. THE HYDRAULIC JACK WAS OVERLOADED AND NOT CRIBBED OR BLOCKED TO MAINTAIN STABILITY. THE 2 BY 4 INSERTS WERE NOT SECURED TO THE SUPPORTS.
