Episode 6: When Steel Whispers
In 1980, a 6mm fatigue crack in a weld capsized the Alexander L. Kielland platform in the North Sea, killing 123 men.
Steel doesn’t fail suddenly—it whispers first. But only if inspection is listening.
This week I break down what offshore inspection actually is: the physics behind ACFM and magnetic particle inspection, how we find cracks at 100 meters depth in zero visibility, and the difference between being qualified and being experienced.
Plus the story of a diver who claimed to have magnetic readings before I turned on the equipment—and what that taught both of us about humility offshore.
This is the invisible layer that prevents disasters. Listen now on Spotify and Apple:
