Yes, we were stood down Thursday, then that section of job closed till investigated. It's a long steel tube ( depending on depth of diaghram wall ) with a hopper on top to deliver concrete into deep cutting. Someone left the joining pin out so when lifting it collapsed. This one was about 20ft long and a couple of ton.
