A severely corroded pipeline ruptured and spilled more than 300,000 gallons of diesel fuel just outside Chalmette, according to federal records.
The spill from the 16-inch diameter line operated by Collins Pipeline Co. was discovered Dec. 27 near a levee along the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet Canal between Chalmette and Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge, according to documents from the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration.

In October 2020, an inspection of the 42-year-old pipeline had revealed external corrosion along a 22-foot section of pipe in the same area as the spill. But repairs were delayed and the line continued operating after a subsequent inspection indicated the corrosion was not bad enough to require work immediately under federal regulations, according to the pipeline agency.

Just think if this were in Lagos.
It wouldn’t have ended this well.

42 years old is nothing for this country’s pipeline infrastructure. We are still operating pre world war 2 pipe daily.

Our fed gov constantly wants to expand their power, yet consistently shows they can’t correctly do the things they are currently supposed to do.
I’ve been hearing those cannons. Incredible it took 2 weeks for this to be public.
Collins pipeline is owned by PBF by the way…

Agreed. 42 years isn’t very long if it was modestly maintained.
Pressures were probably not excessive. Diesel is not highly corrosive.
Maybe there was some galvanic corrosion going on.

The Divers/Inspectors were laid off. And the one left has “Covid” so he’s out for 10 days. So figure it yourself government

Probably had some frickin oyster or ms river clam shells used as filler material around the pipe.
Starting to see lots of isolated corrosion from shells at several sites on pipes around that age

The oldest ones we have are 1920s. So much meticulous work goes into pipeline integrity to ensure this kind of thing doesn’t happen more often. It’s a challenging field, especially since our infrastructure is constantly getting older.

I've been told pipeline bad
By rail is so much safer and economically friendly for fuel transport

Someone do the math for me. How many pair of truck nuts does that equal?

This is what happens when you get a coonass to do a white man's job.

This is an issue of crappy ownership and lax regulation, more so than an indictment on pipelines

It’s Chalmette.
That may have been considered property improvements.
