🆕 Our latest white paper dives deep into the practice of squeezing for temporary pipeline isolation—a technique that has been essential for maintenance and emergency interventions. Improper squeeze-offs can lead to stress concentrations, micro-cracks and significant deformations, escalating the risk of potential failures. 📄 Download our white paper now to safeguard your operations! https://bit.ly/3Ws1eYD #pipelines #PEpipelines #naturalgas

🔥 Natural Gas Pipeline Rupture in Sissonville, West Virginia 🔥 On December 11, 2012, a 20-inch natural gas pipeline owned by Columbia Gas Transmission ruptured in Sissonville, West Virginia, due to severe external corrosion. The explosion launched an 8-meter segment of pipe and ignited a massive fire that damaged an interstate highway, destroyed three homes, and melted the siding of nearby houses. Despite multiple alerts indicating a pressure drop, the pipeline controller failed to act promptly, taking over 10 minutes to recognize the rupture. Field personnel took more than an hour to shut off the gas, allowing 76 million cubic feet of gas to escape and burn. The section of pipe hadn’t been inspected since 1988 and showed severe corrosion, reducing the wall thickness to just 30% of its original size. Experts highlighted that automatic shutoff valves could have significantly reduced the fire's duration and that regular inspections may have prevented the incident altogether. #GasPipeline #NaturalGas #Rupture #Corrosion #PipelineFailure #Inspection #FireSafety #ProcessSafety #PipingSystems #EngineeringSafety #AccidentPrevention #SafeOperation #PipelineInspection #Pigging #IndustrialSafety #RefinerySafety #LearningFromAccidents #ProcessEngineering
