Contractor Says He's Really Sorry for Busting San Bruno Gas Line Yesterday
 |
Ironically, the construction company was actively rebuilding and repairing what the 2010 blast had destroyed when crews busted the pipeline yesterday morning, officials said.
"I offer my sincerest apologies to the citizens of San Bruno on behalf of myself, my crew, and my company," Matt Shaw, owner of the contracting company, said in a statement. "We understand how sensitive this community is from the PG&E explosion of September 2010 and we are deeply sorry to have cause additional and unnecessary concern."
Shaw Pipeline has vowed to improve its safety measures by implementing daily reviews of the layout and execution of work where they are excavating and re-verifying all utility location. PG&E has also promised to re-mark utility locations.
Shaw's company is giving the community some time to recuperate after the scare. Construction will resume on Monday at the earliest, San Bruno City Manager Connie Jackson said. Meanwhile, authorities will review the accident.
The construction project is estimated to be completed in October.
