Incident Narrative
ON 12/14/16 AT 15:05, DURING A PIPELINE INTEGRITY DIG AN ENTERPRISE CONTRACTOR REPORTED A LEAK ON C26. OPERATIONS CONFIRMED THE LEAK AND A PLIDCO CLAMP WAS INSTALLED TO STOP FURTHER PRODUCT LOSS. THE LEAK WAS CONTAINED IN THE EXCAVATED AREA. ON 7/14/2017 THIS SECTION OF PIPE WAS REPLACED. NO HCA IMPACT. UPDATE (9/27/2018): CUTOUT WAS NOT EXAMINED BECAUSE THE AREA THAT WAS BEING EXCAVATED FOR THE INTEGRITY DIG WAS TO ADDRESS THIS SECTION OF PIPE DUE TO CORROSION. SINCE IT WAS REPLACED WITH A NEW SECTION OF PIPE, ADDITIONAL ANALYSIS WAS NOT NEEDED. UPDATE (10/30/2018): OPERATIONS CONFIRMED THE LEAK THROUGH VISUAL EXAMINATION AND IDENTIFIED IT AS A PINHOLE RESULTING FROM LOCALIZED PITTING LOCATED ON THE LOW POINT IN THE PIPE. ALSO AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT A TUB WAS UTILIZED TO CATCH THE PRODUCT, THUS NO SOIL WAS ACTUALLY CONTAMINATED OR REMOVED FROM THE SITE.
