Natural gas pipeline rupture

Published on 12/02/25 238 Views

During a natural gas pipeline repair, a corrugated steel plate was driven into the pipeline, causing it to rupture and explode. This resulted in two fatalities and damages to surroundings.

Ask yourself and your crew:

  • How can something like this happen here (e.g. on our site)?
  • What safety measures (i.e. procedures, controls/barriers) do we have in place to mitigate the risk?
  • How do we know the risk controls/barriers are working?
  • What improvements or changes should we make to the procedures, controls/barriers, or the way we work?
