Deep End Era. Engineering with Sankalp · Oct 28, 2026 · 1h 2m

Elena Petrova said a hundred metres. The project manager wants to know where that number came from. Rashid Al Mansoori sits down with her and the new skid's piping drawings, and together they do what IEC 60079-10-1 asks: list every place gas could escape, decide how often it might, ask what the wind and the walls will do with it, and draw a map of air that might burn. By the end the hundred metres has become something much smaller, and much better justified.
