Narrative

A pipe lining crew was using a hot water system to inflate a liner inside a pipe. Hot water and 6.5 pounds of pressure were added to invert the tubes inside the pipes. An employee was standing next to the tube when it burst at the seam, spraying hot water on the employee and causing second- and third-degree burns to the right side of his body. The employee was hospitalized.
