In an increasingly environmentally conscious world, pipeline/tank/plant designers, builders, and operators are faced with an escalating number of complex design and operating restrictions, all intended to raise safety standards and reduce pollution.

Corrosion, usually the second major cause of pipeline failure, can be monitored and controlled to such a high degree that leaks should be a rare occurrence. Often funds are not available for proper monitoring and maintenance. Pipelines are out of sight and hence out of mind. Also demaning has occurred with greater emphasis placed on nebulous Risk Analysis studies used as an excuse to cut costs/jobs.

A fresh look at the direction the pipeline industry is heading is urgently required with a return to basic concepts long overdue.
