Thanks Phyllis,

 

I don't think it would be fair to delay the process while waiting for me to provide comments. It was my own oversight that resulted in my not seeing this document until last week. No reason to penalize Tahera for my mistakes.  In any event, I've had a quick look at the plan and for all intents and purposes, it looks fine. Furthermore, it has been stamped and signed off by three engineers which fulfill INAC's most basic of requirements.

 

Also, from what I understand, the tanks that Tahera is/was ferrying onto the site for the short term, are vacuum-welded which precludes the need for hydrostatic testing. For the long term, the tanks will be constructed in July.

 

To be on the safe side, I sent the Fuel Farm plans to one of our engineering consultants for them to have a quick look for any glaring omissions but in the meantime, I see no reason why we need delay the company. Time really is of essence at this point and they have a very narrow window of opportunity to get their equipment marshaled into place.

 

I will fire off something more official as soon as I hear from our engineers. If they do find anything to comment on, I suspect that it would be of a very minor nature and something which could easily be addressed at the construction phase this summer. 

 

My apologies for my tardiness. 

 

 

Robert
