Narrative
A magellan crew was in the process of conducting rehabilitation digs from a previous in-line-inspection when wet, petroleum-impacted soil was identified next to the line where coating was coming off. The line was shut down and repair made consisting of removing the leaking specimen and replacing it with new, pre-tested pipe in accordance with company procedures. Impacted soil was tested and disposed of in accordance with acceptable company and state guidelines. A metallurgical analysis determined the release was a result of of an internal defect formed during casting prior to being made into a pipe. From this defect a crack grew by fatigue through the pipe wall.
