2020 2nd Alert Hipo#68 (Fire & explosion) Welding in reserve tank without following the process
On the 26th October 2020 at 09:00 a small leak at the base of the reserve tank was discovered by the crew that was causing a small flow of water with oil mix out onto the sand below. It was decided to have the welder to make a temporary repair on the tank. To stop the small flow of fluid the welder requested assistance and the crane was brought in to lift the tank up on one end so the welding could be completed. With the tank raised up on one end by the crane the welder started to weld a square of metal onto the tank repairing the tank. The job was intervened by HSV to validate the control measures.
