PITT-DES MOINES, INC. REPORTS DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE INDICTMENT
CHICAGO, IL, August 23, 1996 - Pitt-Des Moines, Inc. (AMEX: PDM) today
reported that the Company has received and is reviewing an indictment handed
down by the United States Department of Justice regarding the accident on
November 3, 1993 at the U.S. Postal Service building site in Chicago. Since
we have just received the indictment, it is premature for us to comment
further until we have had a chance to review it completely.
Two workers, one of them a PDM employee, were killed in the accident
and five others were injured. Our sympathies remain with the workers involved
and their families.
PDM provides safe work sites for its employees and subcontractors. It
has always been our policy to adhere to all OSHA and other regulations regarding
workplace safety. We continue to maintain an on-going, aggressive safety program
at all of our job sites.
