At the time he didn't know it, but a two inch high pressure hot water pipe on the B-East concourse expansion had leaked and was spewing scalding hot water on communications equipment, electronics, carpets, drywall, floors and insulation.
– When Robert Wilson, 64, a heating and air conditioning technician at Denver International Airport, reported for his graveyard shift at 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 5. He may have thought it would be a normal night. It was anything but, as two hours into his shift, he noticed a big problem with DIA’s hot water system.
He called colleagues who were on duty at the airport’s maintenance control center multiple times before midnight, telling them the pipe leak was likely “catastrophic, massive and Niagra Falls. I was in crisis mode,” said Wilson. “I knew it was a massive leak someplace. I don’t know if you could be an Olympic athlete and cover the kind of ground. This could be anywhere… in the ceiling, in the basement area. What happens after regular business hours isn’t even an afterthought to them , it’s just a misplaced sense of priority,” he said.The B-East construction project, measuring 120,000 square feet, was controlled by contractors who did not have personnel on site around the clock.
