Processing facilities pipe trenches

Processing facilities have experienced several serious pipe trench fires. Contributing to the size of the fires were inadequate or plugged drains, lack of isolation valves, pipelines on the ground, or inadequate fire stops along the length of the trenches. Pipe trench fires can result in significant business interruption.
