Axial fractures on pipelines should be fairly infrequent. Typically that's something that's discovered very early on in fabrication or installation and inspection. Shouldn't happen unless there's a decent amount of corrosion and high stress loads (usually something like hydrogen embrittlement).
I read through the consent decree and the materials engineering consultant they hired said the pipeline has something in the range of 40 years from the 2017 inspection before the earliest possible failure could occur. So the 2037 would represent half that life.
I also read that this was seamless pipe so even more reason to think the lifetime is extremely long and axial fractures should be quite rare after hydrotesting and initial inspections. I didn't expect this to be anything other than seamless, but you never know.
That said, we also typically do annual pressure checks on our equipment. Would seem reasonable to me to require a pressure check annually or every other year for something like this. Based on this document from noted environmental organization, Duke Energy, it can take 3-4 weeks of pipe cleaning just to get the pipe clean enough to measure. I'm assuming the real number is lower, but still, I had assumed days instead of weeks to prep. Digging into this, seems like most oil pipelines are smart pigged every year or three years (Alaska). If that's the case, then I'm not sure why Enbridge is *****ing.
Edit: Interesting. SO the portion of the line that runs underwater is apparently inspected several times a year. THat's more in line with what I expected. I assume the 15-year pipeline is probably lower risk sections that aren't exposed to constant water. Could be wrong though.
Edit 2: Holy christ. These pipes are 69 years old?! Holy moly. Yeah, these should absolutely be continually inspected.Last edited by dxmnkd316; 10-21-2022, 02:42 PM.Code:As of 9/21/10: As of 9/13/10: College Hockey 6 College Football 0 BTHC 4 WCHA FC: 1
