Examples of failures due to Mechanical integrity or Inspection Issues 2

[Rubje]

Besides CSB, I'm looking for more examples and case studies of a failure/accident in the oil, gas and chemical industry that was due to a poor integrity program and/or inspections.

 

[HTURKAK]

I will suggest you to look to the following books..

-What went wrong? : case histories of process plant disasters and how they could have been avoided (by Trevor Kletz.)

-What went wrong? STILL GOING WRONG ...((by Trevor Kletz.)

-The Kuwaiti Oil Fires (Environmental Disasters) (Kristine Hirschmann)

-Human error in process plant design-and-operations-a-practitioners-guide ( Robert Taylor)


PS: What is CSB ? Is it abbreviation of Chemical Safety Board ?

Shouldn't be hard to find.

USA Pipeline related failures are catelogued at the PHMSA Web site.
Canada also has a similar website Canadian Transportation Safety Board, or something.

While not specific to the gas and oil industry, Prof. Henry Petroski has written extensively on mechanical failure.

Thank you everyone for the replies!

@HTURKAK Yes, that is correct.
