First Inquiry 1993
Considering current knowledge of SCC
Concluded that SCC managed properly
SCC Inquiry 1996 SCC Inquiry 1996 Two ruptures in 1995
Evidence SCC widespread on both gas and liquid pipelines
Since 1977 - 22 failures
12 ruptures, 10 leaks
Provide a forum to share SCC knowledge
Knowledge shared around world
