Frequently used expressions in chemical engineering conferences (4)
Thread Content
IV. Design Changes and Technical Clarifications: Proposing and discussing changes: ❌ A design change is needed. ✅ We need to initiate a design change / variation due to… / I suggest a design modification to address the site conditions. („Design change / variation order / design modification“ are all acceptable; on-site, „modification“ is commonly used.) ）
❌ It must be changed. ✅ This change is necessary because the original design poses potential safety hazards. / We must make this change in order to comply with the latest regulations. (A more professional way to state the reason would be “because of safety hazards” or “to meet the required standards”). ）
Resolving drawing conflicts: ❌ The drawing and the actual site do not match. ✅ There is a discrepancy between the drawing and the conditions on site. / The actual condition of the site differs from the drawing provided for construction. (“Discrepancy between drawing and site” is the standard expression used for this situation.) ）
❌ Confirm design. ✅ Could you help me understand the design intent here? / I need clarification on the design intent at this interface. (“Design intent” is a term frequently used in international engineering; it refers to the original purpose behind a design, which makes it much clearer than simply saying “confirm design”). ）
