emt hours

[normbac]

need to estimate time to run 9 230ft rows of 1/2 inch emt with j box every 40ft it will be 30ft up hung on steel truss any guess on hours for two guys to do this? TIA :-? :-?

 

[shaw0486]

are you using 1900 boxes and are they going to be mounted to building steel

Is the ground clear? Shelving, desks, etc need to be moved? One lift or two? Foot traffic to worry about (having to secure a work area)? Any customer requirements that may slow things down?

 

[normbac]

open warehouse no obstructions not moved in yet one lift
4s boxes caddy clips or possibly down the v shape and strap some how?

You may find it goes better with a 3rd man, the ground man. Keep conduit and fittings coming to the arial guys.

 

[shaw0486]

is every conduit going to have its own box every 30' or are they going to be grouped

 

[hardworkingstiff]

My guess would be

1st day show up, get set up and get system going, probably get 25% completed. 2nd day, zip along and wonder why you didn't get more done yesterday. Come close, but not quite finish.

3rd day, clean up, clear out, milk a whole days work out of this.

119 hours and $775 in material this include 2070' of 1/2"emt all stell fitting and 52 deep 1900 boxes and covers

That is correct im not sure i understand the boxes is 52 to many that is every conduit getting one every 40'

That is correct im not sure i understand the boxes is 52 to many that is every conduit getting one every 40'

they are going to be used to apply whips to light fixtures

they are seperated 20 ft apart

It almost seems more logical to run the conduits in the other direction, with nine boxes per, one every 20'.

there are eleven rows x nine rows

 

[shaw0486]

Those hours were based on the conduit being ran in parallell

Those hours were based on the conduit being ran in parallell

understood that is the part of job i was most confused on time

 

[shaw0486]

so all the conduits will be ran grouped together

so all the conduits will be ran grouped together

no there will be nine rows of 230 ft 20ft apart i am going to run one 1inch conduit to connect all 9 rows

 

[shaw0486]
