2" RGS

[Alwayslearningelec]

These are general parameter.

Have a 2" RGS conduit w/ 4#1/0 & 1 #6 THHN going panel to panel.

Run has only 2 bends and is 220' long. with 2 Wall chops.

It is being run hung from T-rod with a conduit clamp.

Ceiling is open and 12' high. Heigh of conduit from floor is about 10'

I has (2) men for 1 week to do this work and my owner said it's taking 2 men 2 weeks.

I think that is long for this work. Any thoughts???

2 men 2 weeks? That's 22' per day for two men. I think you're okay with one week and two good men.

Smoke breaks, talking to girlfriends, two weeks sounds about right. But then how far is the material being toted? By hand? Forklift? Power threader? Factory 90’s? Manual threader? Are they experienced at running rigid?

Floor is clear?

Floor is clear?

Yup. Down a corridor that is open and ceilings down. Not occupied either.

MAterial is in vincinity.
1. Would factory elbow or field bend be quicker labor wise? Assume factory elbow although more material $.
2. Power vs. manual threader??? Power obviously faster?
3. Experiecne in running RGS? What experience is needed over say running EMT? Threading??? Only thing I can think of.

We had a sub contractor in Jersey that had three crews. Stores were identical, two of the crews took twice as long to do the stores as the third crew. Identical quality.

Scissor lift vs ladders is a big factor.

More planning is required in running rigid, unless you are using beginners couplings and connectors.$$$

Being as specific as you can, why?

Two elbows and all the rest straight pipe? If two men can't do this in a week they should be sent packing.

Scissor lift faster correct? Less up/down right?

But even when working @ 10-12'?

Incuding the wire pull?

Oh yes. That and just a more stable work platform.

Sometimes running bigger pipe it’s nice to have two guys in a lift to pick up the pipe and spin it.

Add a day for that.
