Frequently, there are multiple grounding paths for power in a plant, ..... rarely will a piping system or vessel serve as the true ground for a system.... but it can happen.
Does it cost extra, yes...... are the consequences of ungrounded equipment severe....yes..
What does this mean ?

*assumes that the paint is conductive - i.e. inorganic zinc without topcoat, or that the faying surface(s) was unpainted. Not very likely.
