Ravi is a junior mechanical engineer at a small engineering firm in Suva. One day, the team is tasked with designing a new pressurised piping system for a food processing plant. The senior engineer is away on leave, and the manager asks Ravi to take over the project. Although Ravi has some knowledge of piping systems from university, he has never worked on a live design or performed pressure calculations in a professional setting.

Feeling pressured and eager to prove himself, Ravi accepts the task and completes the design using online tutorials and assumptions. A few weeks after installation, a pipe joint bursts during cleaning operations, causing hot fluid to spray into a staff area. No one is seriously injured, but the plant is temporarily shut down, and an investigation is launched. 

It is later found that Ravi used incorrect pressure ratings for the joints and failed to have the design peer-reviewed or approved by a licensed engineer. The company is fined for professional negligence, and Ravi is issued a formal warning.
