Enbridge has announced the successful completion of repairs on a section of pipeline that exploded earlier this month.
Following what they call a “comprehensive integrity assessment”, Enbridge expects to begin safely returning the 36” pipeline to service within the next 48 hours. A second, 30” pipeline was returned to service on Oct.11th.
They will be gradually increasing flows of natural gas through the repaired segment until it reaches 80% of the normal operating pressure.
Enbridge says they are still working with Transportation Safety Board in their ongoing investigation on the cause of the incident.
