Description:
The airport terminal expansion project in Las Vegas had its second serious accident within four months when a rebar cage collapsed and trapped five ironworkers for half an hour. On June 23, the 70-ft-long cage collapsed on ironworkers at the Terminal 3 project at McCarran International Airport. The workers were attaching interior wire supports for the No. 11-sized rebar cage, lying on the ground lengthwise. The cage was to serve as a structural component of a subterranean roadway bridge in front of the new 1.87-million-sq-ft, $2.4-billion structure.
