Narrative
While preparing to pour a concrete pipe support footing near tank 2504 at the colorado city terminal, the contractor's concrete chute was not pinned in place which resulted in the chute swinging loose and contacting the 1" piping for a thermal relief system. The contact resulted in a crack at the threaded fitting on the upstream isolation valve on the thermal relief system. Local operations personnel were notified and the release was stopped by closing the isolation valve on the thermal relief system. Cleanup activities were initiated and impacted gravel and dirt were collected and containerized for proper disposal. The piping was replaced by the contractor. Safety discussions were conducted with the contractor on checking and following proper equipment procedures.
