Hi guys,
I would come up with a Risk Assessment and make a risk profile along the pipelines. Wherever risk level is lower than 10-6 then the development of building should be granted, according to UK HSE (UK Health & Safety Executive) for land use.
Many consultant such as DNV, Advantica etc...
Using PHAST software from DNV you can earn more than a pinhole leak. It covers almost hydrocarbon release cases.
But only if you are so rich.

Hi there,
Your co-worker is totally wrong. PHAST allows you to simulate the rupture point wherever you want in the line and also take friction losses into account. Go to Help/Tutorial, there is a simple example relating to Line Rupture Scenario for your reference.
Good luck.
