Recently, at Lynnterm East Gate, some large diameter pipe was being loaded out onto trucks when the cross bracing at one end broke loose and FLEW approximately 40 FT.
Upon closer examination, the welds holding the cross bracing were NOT up to standard. The company and the customer have been advised. Please be aware of this.
The bight can present itself in many different ways.
