I have done one installation, specd for another
I'll give you some basics and you can fill in the details, however we would like to see the entire report...
Advantages: very rigid, good for pole riser over PVC. Impact resistant. Smooth as glass and easy to pull thru. It was used at the ship yard under the piers
Disadvantages:
If using glued joints (are there other types) it is epoxyed, different epoxy depending on air temp. Has to set for some time before backfill. Have to sand ends. Epoxy is messy I got some on my carharts, its hasn't washed out years later.

Each wiring method has +/-. I used it for radio coax, a large coax diameter for a long run.
