Location
OH, COLUMBIANA
Narrative
A columbia gas employee working in the area heard a crash and then smelled natural gas. The employee investigated and found a regulator station damaged by a garbage truck which had lost control striking the concrete block building and damaging pipeline facilities inside. Columbia crews and contractors shut down the regulator station using an inline valve and pipeline stopping equipment. Damage to the pipeline facilities inside the building included an above ground 8" regulator setting pipe which was struck and torn from the top of a 16" low pressure main below ground. The cost to replace the regulator station piping and building met the threshold for reportability.
