I guess this is trolling. Don't get me wrong at first there were some cutouts but after so many delays "engineering" took over despite what code says.

Yup that’s cast for ya, depending on the depth of the cracks in reguards to its integrity is a call normally made by qualified individuals. If it made it past NDT and the broiler branch or whom ever it’s good to go. Those welds look atrocious and I noticed under cut on the one weld with a fail blend. Non code piping
