Best location for vertical riser?

[Timona]

I have to distribute power to 15 floors of a building. What is the best location /a few locations where to put my vertical risers?

That varies with every building. You need to work with the architectural design team to see where they will let you put your electrical risers. Typically there is space blocked out for things like that.

The best place is adjacent to the elevator shaft. You can literally run straight up he entire building without a bend.

If the risers are raceways, don't forget to provide a method to comply with the requirements of 300.19

Yes. I do have elevator shaft and staircase next door.

Unfortunately, the architects are MIA in this. I need to get this done by Thursday.
