22kV Transformer Base

It's a bit like shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted.

Because there was no written instruction for the modification, the service provider cannot raise an invoice for payment and the transformer vendor can refuse to continue without a variation on the basis that the base is not as per agreed drawings. Further, now, when the Client wants something else done for nothing, the argument is that the service provider has done this before. It's difficult to defend against this sort of assertion.

Where might it all end, one might ask? - an exhausted and bankrupt service provider and a Client with no medium-term support, perhaps?

I know, lets take this project poroblem to the internet for an answer, really?
