At 11:38 a.m. on March 6, 2018, an employee was using an
electric impact gun to tighten the bolts connecting a 12 Inch diameter pipe
flange and the end cap in place. As the employee stood over the vertical pipe
tightening the bolts, a connection below ground failed. This failure sent the
pressurized pipe upwards and caused the impact gun to strike the employee in
his chest. The employee was killed.
