Alaska pipeline may be delayed by welding flaws and cover up
A House subcommittee memo says the trans-Alaska pipeline could miss next year’s opening as repairs to defective welds raise costs by hundreds of millions. X-ray inspectors allege up to 200 falsified X-rays of defective double welds on the 809 mile line. The memo accuses Interior and Transportation of possible conspiracy to ignore issues, with hearings planned in Washington and calls for a Justice Department probe and audits by Alyeska Pipeline Service Co. Alyeska denies any conspiracy or falsification.
