Incident on Nov 9, 2005: Employees are burned by hot water from pipeline
At approximately 12:00 noon on September 9, 2005, Employee #1 and #2, both welde rs, were repairing a leaking 20-in.-diameter carbide steel injection geothermal pipeline. Employee #1 released a come-along (a ratchet-chain puller/hoist) that was securing a temporary metal saddle patch (10 in. by 10 in. by 0.5 in.) coveri ng a previously-repaired leak on the pipeline. The pipeline then ruptured, relea sing steam and pressurized hot water (170 degrees Fahrenheit and 380 psi). The r elease created an 8-ft-deep, 25-ft-diameter crater. Both employees were sprayed with the hot water that escaped from the ruptured pipeline, and were both thrown away from the pipeline. Employee #1 was hospitalized at UCSD Burn Center for th ird-degree burns to back of his right leg, the left side of his body (from his h ip to his armpit), his back, and his stomach.
