Your email copied below seems to infer that BIHL is to provide VPE with Shop Detail drawings when in fact BIHL is paying VPE to do all our shop detail drawings on these three Purchase Orders.
I personally checked and we have sent VPE all of the intermediate cast tube sheet drawings and cast support drawings. We have also sent VPE our fabricated Intermediate Tube sheet drawings.
As for end tube sheets this is not the first time that VPE has detailed BIHL Tube sheets. So I am very surprised at some of the questions VPE is asking.
When I look at the Malaysian Groups SDS details for this project, they have gone way beyond in their detailing of the major components to assist VPE in their work.
The type of questions we are receiving from VPE are questions we would expect from a first timer fabricator. In the past we have relied upon VPE’s knowledge of our heater details yet this knowledge is not being utilized by VPE on these projects.
We understand that there are components of these heaters for which VPE must receive more detailed SDS and we thought that we had gone beyond our normal level of detailing for VPE. Again we would expect VPE to know all of our typical details especially the type of end tube sheets which we have on this project.
We do note that the details from the modelling that VPE has done indicates where you have found clashes. BIHL does appreciate that VPE are taking extra precaution in modelling these units and as I have indicated before to VPE what I personally have seen from VPE’s modelling is very good.
We respectfully remind VPE that we are paying a lot of money for shop details from VPE so we fail to understand why VPE is asking for shop details in the email copied below.
