The Occupational Safety and Health Administration on Apr. 1 issued fines totaling nearly $189,000 against SGL Constructors—a joint venture of Skanska, Granite and Lane Construction—for two separate incidents on the $2.3-billion I-4 Ultimate project in Orlando.
On Sept. 28, 2019, the project’s fifth fatality occurred when a concrete beam struck an aerial lift that was being used by two workers, killing 37-year-old Ulises Jesus Corrales Ibarra and injuring the other worker. An Orlando Police Dept. incident report provided some details of the tragedy, noting that the responding officer “observed a concrete beam pinning a construction worker who appeared to be deceased” and a blue construction crane “tipped slightly on its side.”
