Failure Files 2.0: Geohazards

On this episode of the Failure Files series, Pipeline Things break down a significant geohazard incident: the 2023 rupture of Gulf South’s Index 381 pipeline near Jackson, Mississippi. Rhett and Christopher unpack how a vintage weld flaw, masked geohazards, and the limitations of in-line inspection (ILI) tools came together to produce a high-cost failure. This episode is a must-listen for anyone working in integrity management or considering how to implement effective geohazard management programs. Highlights: How a Mississippi pipeline was impacted by construction work on a reactivated retention pond The slow-moving, well-documented earth movement that still went unaddressed A girth weld defect from 1952 and why ILI didn’t catch it in time Why LiDAR and bending strain data weren’t enough without expert interpretation Connect:   Rhett Dotson   Christopher De Leon   D2 Integrity   Be sure to subscribe and leave a comment or rating!   Pipeline Things is presented by D2 Integrity and produced by FORME Marketing.    D2 Integrity (D2I) is providing this podcast as an educational resource, but it is neither a legal interpretation nor a statement of D2I policy.
