Incident Photos of Hydrotesting Procedure, Failure, Fatality

As you have probably heard in Mississippi this past week (July 2009) there was at least one fatality and three others were air-lifted (one of which was not expected to live) during a testing procedure. These are photographs of the incident and the destruction. Please remember those who died and were injured from this pressure test and train from these photographs. As you can see from this mass destruction of pipe, we remember why on-lookers are not allowed within 500' of hydro-testing or nitrogen-testing area. These hazards are great. When failures occur the pressure is massive. Massively destructive to not only pipe, but everything in its avenue. Ensure personnel who are not directly involved in the testing process are removed from the area and not allowed in the area for any reason. The same is true for any hazardous area. Limited number of people need to be in or around excavations, open trench, or ever stand between equipment or moving materials. Be aware of your surroundings at all times. For those new hires and experienced help, ensure personnel is alert and aware of everything going on around them. A split second can become a part of history. A part of history only survivors learn from...an experience which no one would want to partake, witness, or experience. Our condolences and sympathy to those who have lost someone they loved in this tragedy. Cause still undetermined and under investigation.
