Investigators are looking into the cause of a crane-boom failure that killed a worker at the construction site of Motiva’s Port Arthur refinery on April 19.
The worker killed has been identified as Stewart Wayne Shaver, 41, who was working for Beacon Construction, a subsidiary of Bechtel Corp. Francis Canavan, a spokesman for Bechtel, wouldn’t comment on the circumstances surrounding the incident, saying it was still under investigation. However, he did say the crane used was a Bechtel-owned Link-belt RTC-8090 Series II, a 90-ton rough-terrain crane.
