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

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

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

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.
