Hey i didnt know where this belonged(if anywhere) i have only blocked the model in atm but i am having a problem when i render the image.

as you can see the cylinders on the left appear as if they have a line down the middle as if there are 2 of them. i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to rectify this. i am using mental ray renderer.

thanks in advance and sorry if this doesnt belong here.

It's kind of hard to see, I think you're talking about the long thin pipe running the length of the wall? It looks like it might be a smoothing error?

Is the object unwrapped with a texture applied? It could be insufficient edge padding.

It can also be render settings, if you remove the lights and drop it back to scanline does the problem still pop up?

I'm not sure which pipe you are referring to. The line on the pipe Vig pointed out looks like it could also be a reflection. Are you using one of the Arch and Design shader presets?
