HOUSTON, Jan 4 (Reuters) – A crane lifting pipes for a crude capacity expansion at Motiva Enterprises’ Port Arthur, Texas, refinery toppled over backward on Tuesday, according to sources familiar with the project, the second crane accident on the project.
While the accident was not initially expected to delay the expansion, an investigation into the incident was just getting underway, the sources said.
‘They dodged a bullet,’ said one of the sources of the accident.
