First we had a coal blast, then a oil rig, now this...something is going on.


Yep a utility crew didn’t do a proper locate and bored into a 36” gas pipeline. Bet it wasn’t done on purpose but someone screwed up at some point in the process.

A major building site reconstruction could easily accidentally sever a major utility conduit (gas, electric, water, sewer, etc.) The JULIE marks can be easily obliterated by activity on the surface of the ground.

I will lay the blame on the Boss of this job,,,

It is up to him to make sure locates are called in and

that the crew digs up these lines by HAND...
