A distillation tower has been designed to be 29.5 meters long – is that reasonable? Is it necessary to round it up to 30 meters?

As the title suggests, I designed a distillation tower with a height of 29.5 meters. The design was completed, as was the mechanical verification, but I only realized this issue later. I’m worried that I won’t be able to get approval from the instructor, but starting over would be very troublesome. I’m seeking help from everyone here; thank you
Not necessary; the steel plate width is 1580
No need; it’s not the diameter anyway, and usually it isn’t that large in diameter. :lol
Why round it off? Design is based on data calculations; then what is the principle behind rounding? Do your teachers have such a hobby?
Only when there’s a remainder does it show that you’ve done careful calculations
It’s fine to just simulate it without actually creating it; you can use 29.49865m for the design as well. If it needs to be made, at least use 29,600 mm – otherwise the engineers responsible for drawing the detailed designs and those in charge of the production process will hate you.
