Dead end room. no egress.
what does that change ?
The building code would prohibit something like those conduits across an egress.
Imho, it seems that 110.26A 3 would prohibit anything extending beyond 6" from the front edge of the panel in the working space (extending from the floor to the ceiling). The fact that the conduits are on the floor shouldn't exempt them from that distance.
I also note that other conduits have been sleeved through the floor, so that was also a option for these particular conduits assuming that they couldn't have been run overhead.
We can only assume something was added or left out.
Would this violate the Accessible stipulation for panels. Would you actually be climbing over these to access them. Just a thought..

I agree with you 100% but that did not look like a panel front to me.

Anyone having to work or service this panel would have the added danger of tripping into the panel interior if the deadfront was removed.
Whatever, it's not a installation I'd like with my signature on.
I agree with Bob.
There is nothing in the NEC that would prohibit this unless we considered the EMT to be subject to severe physical damage.

Don't see it blocking anything
. If this is an acceptable install, it only proves (again) that the NEC is not bullet proof.
