In principle shouldn’t be a problem to deliver white coloured pipes RAL 9002 instead of the black pipes. The only reason that the client is requesting the pipes black is because they are not visible and therefore they request the cheapest version of pipe, therefore for me we can go ahead with coloured pipes.
In order to verify this and the proposal for the deck connector in 2 parts (4.835 m each) I have been trying to contact Michael Lussier from VStructural since yesterday but I haven’t been able to reach him as it seems it was public holiday in USA. I will try again today.
On the other hand, please let us also know if we are sending the welding samples for Sr. Croix and the pipes for Tapan Zee with the airfreight as expected.
