Kumar Vishwakarma, a 33 year old Indian CCIC
welder, who crawled inside a 24-inch diameter
pipe on Sunday, 23 August ca. 9:30 am. Mr.
Vishwakarma apparently entered the pipe to
inspect his work and subsequently
suffocated. He arrived in Qatar on 9 February
2006 to work on the QGX project and had just
returned from a 2-month holiday on 26 July to
join the QCS project to work as a CCIC
welder. The accident occurred on the 3rd level
of Train 7, 53-XH0603 at the 20 m level
