What happened? <\/strong><\/p>\n

During commissioning activities, a commissioning engineer was found unconscious inside a gas valve unit (GVU).  He received CPR and regained consciousness before being transported to the hospital for further diagnosis.  Luckily, he has made full recovery.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Pressure holding tests were being conducted, controlled from an interface cabinet.  Nitrogen gas was used as the test medium.  The pressure build-up was taking longer than usual so the vendor performing the test suspected that there was a leak somewhere.  He heard a hissing sound coming from inside one of the GVUs (where the piping runs through) and suspected that the leak was coming from the piping inside the GVU.  The vendor informed the commissioning engineer about the leakage and returned to the interface cabinet.  Shortly afterwards the vendor noticed the commissioning engineer entering the GVU through the manhole opening.  The vendor rushed to the GVU, but the commissioning engineer was already overcome by the nitrogen and had collapsed inside the unit.<\/p>\n

The commissioning engineer was rescued, CPR was administered, and he regained consciousness before being transported to the hospital supported by additional oxygen.  The engineer has since made a full recovery and is back on duty.<\/p>\n

What went wrong?<\/strong><\/p>\n
