Risks of Aging Pipelines and Their Impact on Safety and the Environment
With over half of the onshore gas and hazardous liquid pipelines in the U.S. being constructed from RE70 pipe or older, the risks associated with aging infrastructure are significant. This content highlights the potential dangers posed by these aging pipelines, including the possibility of product releases that can lead to fires, explosions, and severe environmental and property damage. The discussion includes statistical realities, such as the vast mileage of these pipelines, and real-world examples like the Texas Eastern failure in Edison, NJ, where a gas pipeline explosion forced over 1,000 people to evacuate. The importance of understanding these risks and preparing for potential consequences is emphasized to ensure safety and mitigate the impact on surrounding communities.
