Hey everyone,
I have kind of a general engineering question that has to deal with not providing conduit from a new main electrical panel out to a concession stand location. So to put things into perspective, when I sent out the construction drawings for this project, we had discussed providing spare breakers in the main panel for what would eventually be a concessions stand located outside and away from the building. The owner never provided any information or location of where the concessions stand was supposed to be so we just ended up showing the spares on the drawing without providing information on conduit size or where to run them. The concrete slab is already poured and now the general contractor is asking what can be done and why we didn't show this on our drawings. In this scenario what would be the best course of action in order to not look foolish and also is there a way to run conduits outside the building without having to drill through the concrete slab?
Best Regards,
