I am working on a case that involves a dry mud pit in a service station's bay. The pit was apparently suppose to be filled with water, however, was not. There was an elbow joint pipe in the pit that was not positioned correctly and leaking methane/sewer gas into the bay. When the attendent opened the bay doors the wind forced the fumes toward a nearby hot water heater whose pilot light ignited the fumes and caused an explosion. I am curious if there is any information readily available to the public concerning the dangers of methane gas and the need to keep these types of mud pits filled with water? Thanks for your help. |
