Narrative
The landowner was deep breaking his field and struck centurion's #1 16" mainline. The strike occurred in an area where it appears there has been possible rain water runoff causing some soil erosion. This may have lessened the pipeline cover in that particular spot. The damaged pipeline section was cut out and replaced with new pipe. The affected area was remediated, reseeded, irrigated and a pipeline depth profile was also completed. The entire line on his property was flagged enabling the tractor driver to stop short of the flagged lines, lift and then continue. Centurion commissioned a line lowering project that was completed in november, 2013, thereby increasing the "cover" for the pipeline in the accident area and other portions of the pipeline in that part of oklahoma.
