Incident Narrative

AT EI 199 A ATMOSPHERIC BOLT ON CLAMP INSTALLED IN OCTOBER 2003 HAS DEVELOPED A LEAK AT THE SEAM EDGE OF THE CLAMP. THE CLAMP IS INSTALLED ON AN 8"" DEAD LEG SECTION OF PIPE. TO ISOLATE THE CLAMPED SECTION OF PIPE THE ENTIRE 737 20"" PIPELINE WILL HAVE TO BE ISOLATED AND BLOWDOWN. A REPAIR PROCEDURE WAS DEVELOPED. IN JULY 2012, A SECTION OF THE LINE WAS REMOVED, AND THE REMAINING PIPE SEGEMENT WAS BLINDED OFF. THE PROJECT IS COMPLETE.
