Glad we could help.On another note ...sure this is pretty stupid question. Guys ever put a bender on a lift And bend while up in air? I know the answer is no as it's pretty dangerous and also not enough room.
lol..got it. Thought so. Trying to think of anything to speed up install time.Glad we could help.![]()
I didn't take the kiss personally-- but I appreciate that some jobs should NOT be done 'the hard way.'Done it, been there... I was blessed to have very good bosses, foremen and office staff who sorta.broke down the big picture- and gave me daily expectations and breakdowns of a goal. I like daily goals... We were a good team.
The kiss was'nt directed towards anyone btw.
Sorry it's (29) conduits and it's 30' in some areas and 60' in others and they want it in 4 weeks. Not possible the way I see it. Maybe with (3) separate crews. One on each end and one in middle but not sure that would be practical.

Can you explain a littlre more. I have another huge job with mnay banks of conduits. Don't understand( or how it would save time) how you prefab runs like this.You should pre-fab this. Our pre-fab shop built stuff like this all the time, and installers would place them with a duct lift.
There is saving time and there is saving time. Your initial question is about time spent in the facility installing the rough in. I can't imagine that you don't see how you aren't saving time at the facility doing installation, so I will assume your question is the other. That is a lot harder to quantify. Prefab, may or may not actually save time, but it should save money if planned well. In this type scenario though, it is hard to quantify because each situation is unique, layout, experience, available facilities and equipment, complexity of the installation, all make a difference. At times is may not save money, or time, other times it may slay the estimate.Can you explain a littlre more. I have another huge job with mnay banks of conduits.

They do make one designed to be mounted on a lift for smaller up to 1" EMT.On another note ...sure this is pretty stupid question. Guys ever put a bender on a lift And bend while up in air? I know the answer is no as it's pretty dangerous and also not enough room
And don't leave out the guy who always has strange ideas-- one of them might be the gem you need!Sounds like you have enough work for multiple crews
Need to sit 2-3 of your best guys down and come up with a plan.
