I have an underground duct bank with (12) 3 1/2" pvc conduits, each with (4) 500 kcmil and (1) 250 kcmil EGC, 480 vac, feeding an MCC in a facility, encased in concrete. The engineer is requiring an additional single #4/0 bare ground to be run in the concrete duct bank along with the pvc conduits. I cannot find anywhere where the #4/0 is a code requirement. It is not on the drawing and the contractor wants an extra because it is not a code requirement. Is this in fact a code requirement, or just a good practice?
