    Shazia,

    2 off means number of units. I am not sure though on whether they are refering to the number of tank or the foundation. You can verify this by checking the discipline, Mechanical or Structural.

    Dear Shazia,

    Better send a Request for Information to the client so that they can explain what it is. It can be a typing error and they mean totally different thing.

    Chances are if you look at the drawinsg carefully, you might find the answer.

    With kind regards,

    Samer

    It will almost certainly mean 2 tanks, with bunding & foundations.

    2 off = 2 No.

    As Samer says, if you have a layout drawing it should be easy to check

    Hi All

    This reminds me when I was working in Japan.

    The company tendered for "Cement Works" in Malaysia and won the job by a wide margin.

    When they arrived on site to start they found they had to build 2 Cement Works.

    Whoops!

    Best regards
