Worker killed at Gas Processing Facility at Marcus Hook, PA
Construction Worker Killed for New Natural Gas Processing Facility at Marcus Hook, PA
From an Article by Jamison Cocklin, Natural Gas Intelligence, April 1, 2015
Sunoco Logistics Partners LP confirmed that a contract employee was killed on Monday during work to convert the Marcus Hook industrial complex near Philadelphia into a natural gas liquids (NGL) terminal.
Spokesman Joe McGinn said the contractor, whose name was not released, died in an incident at about 2:30 p.m. EST Monday. The worker reportedly died of blunt force trauma after a large pylon fell. No other injuries were reported.
A U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) representative said federal officials are investigating. OSHA said the contractor worked for Los Angeles-based engineering and construction services firm AECOM, which has been cited for several OSHA violations in the past, according to agency records.
“The worker was struck by a steel pile during pile-driving operations,” said OSHA spokeswoman Joanna Hawkins. She added that the federal investigation could take up to six months to complete.

Sunoco is converting the former oil refinery on the Delaware River into a terminal to store, export, process and distribute NGLs. (The Sunoco Mariner pipeline system which crosses southern Pennsylvania is being upgraded and repurposed to transport NGLs from southwestern PA, northern WV and eastern OH to the Marcus Hook facility.)

They're working on High Speed Rail, for example.
It's a shame the worker was killed. I'm glad, however, to read about the plant being converted from oil operations to slightly cleaner NGL ops.
