Agency cites Atlantic Coast Pipeline for construction problems
Friday, August 23, 2019
The Atlantic Coast natural gas pipeline has run into another problem, being cited for “unsafe construction practices at work sites” by the U.S. Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration, according to Kallanish Energy.
According to the PHMSA, the company failed to follow written specifications or standards in ditching and laying pipe. Dominion Energy Transmission has been ordered to correct the problems.
The unsafe practices were discovered last December during federal inspections. However, the agency’s four-page letter to the pipeline was not released until; July 25.
