• Introduction to the Failure Files: Barrier Breakdown

  Introducing the newest series of Pipeline Things, Failure Files: Barrier Breakdown. Each episode will dissect different stories from the midstream, aerospace, upstream operations, and space exploration industries. We will break down the broken barrier beneath each story that led to failure. It is comfortable and easy to point to a single “source” when something goes wrong. However, if we break down these layers, these perfect storms have anything but perfect solutions. Highlights: Uncovering the broken layers of protection Discuss events that develop patterns How can our industry start engineering better outcomes?
