Narrative
On june 1, 2013, a 20" intermediate pressure distribution mainline operating at 88 psig located on saint clair ave., cleveland, ohio failed at the seam that resulted in a leak. At approximately 6:06 a.M. On june 1, 2013, an odor complaint was called in by the public. Dominion arrived on the scene at approximately 6:46 a.M. And was able to pinpoint the leak. The mainline valves were shut at approximately 3:00 p.M. To isolate the section of pipeline that failed. At approximately 7:00 p.M., two clamps were installed on the pipeline. The section of pipe that failed was cut out and sent to a third party laboratory, keifner & associates, for failure investigation. The result of the failure investigation concluded that the rupture along the longitudinal seam weld was caused by selective seam corrosion (ssc). The pipeline that failed was replaced in october 2013.
