Does this kind of stuff still go on?
Many years ago(about 40) there was a dispute over who was going to install the conduit for a lighting system in a control room because the then Webster's definition(maybe still does)described a conduit as a conveyance for water or something to that effect and the pipefitters said that meant it was a pipe and it belonged to them.The pipe fitters stood thier ground and installed it using standard pipe and fittings,the electricians dismantled it and reinstalled it with conduit and proper fitting/hangers.A few years later on another project there was another incident involving who was to do the Cadweld shots on underground pipe for a Cathodic Protection System.The decision was made for the pipefitters to do the actual labor with the electricians supervising and then the electriciams installed bonding pipe to pipe and leads back to ground loop and on to the rectifiers.In both cases both trades walked away smiling.
This is just a couple of disagreements between trades that I actually witnessed.
