Problema: External corrosion had led to severe wall thinning in numerous parts of the pipework. In addition several areas were holed and were being contained with a temporary fix. The welded nature of the pipework would have made replacement of the pipespool impossible as the vent gas pipework forms part of the platform’s safety system.
