He was extricated by fire-fighters and taken to the Royal Gwent Hospital, Newport, but later died from his injuries.

The 拢400m gas-fired 80 megawatt (MW) development was approved in August, and is due to be completed in 2010, employing 60 workers.

Gwent police and the Health and Safety Executive are investigating the death.
