There may be some substandard material problems.

“Although a number of pipe and steel mills are implicated, it appears that Welspun, an Indian steel pipe manufacturer, produced the lion’s share of this defective pipe. Welspun, for example, was responsible for 88% of the expansion anomalies found in the Boardwalk pipelines.
However, at least one other pipe mill produced substantial amounts of substandard pipe using steel from two steel mills, and a few other mills produced small amounts of low-strength pipe.
The problem was widespread enough that PHMSA issued the Advisory Bulletin industry-wide. “
