Incident Narrative

"PIPELINE WAS EXCAVATED TO INVESTIGATE A 66% EXTERNAL METAL LOSS ANOMALY IDENTIFIED DURING A PREVIOUS ILI RUN. THE INTEGRITY DIG CREW HAD FINISHED EXCAVATION OF THE TARGET AREA, AND STARTED TO REMOVE OLD COATING WHEN THEY NOTICED A SMALL PINHOLE LEAK AT THE LOCATION OF THE ILI CALL. ALL WORK WAS STOPPED IMMEDIATELY. A PLIDCO SPLIT SLEEVE WAS INSTALLED TO CONTAIN THE LEAK. THE SPLIT SLEEVE WAS THEN WELDED ON THE ENDS, THE SIDES, AND ALL OF THE BOLTS TO SERVE AS A PERMANENT REPAIR."
