Where Pipe Systems Actually Fail UndergroundAfter years of on-site installation, commissioning and maintenance at coal mine roadways, filling working faces and hydraulic support sites, the picture is consistent. Static overpressure is rarely the cause of a pipeline failure. What kills underground pipework is the gap between what the spec sheet says and what the roadway does to it.
