Another EC wants to run PVC in the framing of a fixed (pier or walkway over marsh and water) and intall a junction box under the decking (with an access panel in the decking). From the junction box the EC will install type W cable under the gangway down into the floating dock. The jb will be well out of the datum plane.
The GC called and asked if this was OK. I told him I didn't see a problem with it, but it could be a violation of 555.9 as it requires all electrical connections to be at least 12" above the deck of a fixed pier.
Now we get into the "what is the definition of a fixed pier?".
Comments please?
