Narrative
Seal beach line # 47 travels through the parking lot of a private property servicing a hotel. The land developer for this property is tearing down the hotel for new construction. The developer employed a contractor to demo the adjacent parking lot where the seal beach line #47 is located. The contractor did not use the 811 dig alert system before they started the excavation. During excavation of the parking lot the contractor struck the seal beach lint #47. At the time of the strike the seal beach line #47 was not shipping and had 100 psi of pressure in a steady state. Another contractor on site at the time of the strike called the crimson control center to notify of a potential strike to our line. The release was contained in a adjacent below grade excavation on the private property.
