Ductwork violation?

Crawlspace? Do you have the required headroom?

Looks like crawlspace is the area behind wall the panel is attached to.

The EMT must be kicked. Looking at the studs, the water looks to be in front over the panelboard.

The front of the panelboard appears to be in front of the studs as well, so that the water is over the panelboard.

Or move the panel to the stud bay on the left, put the main at the bottom, and a jbox where the conduit ends at bottom of panel. I don’t know if this will work with concrete encasement of service conductors

Something tells me the way that is framed it might be the crawlspace access opening. But maybe it can be moved?

Water piping still potentially an issue as well.

could be minimum working height clearance issues also.

Easy fix? build a "bump out" wall to get panel forward enough to have the needed clearance above, turn panel over so main is on bottom and the conductors already run will still reach.

Yes, or bump out and enter panel from lower right knock out if main is still desired on top. There still may be enough conductor length.

I may be off. But if that’s the main panel, aren’t those conductors too long entering the building ?
And looking at it again it looks like he can build it out and move to the left where it looks like the pipe is coming in from.

I think he said is going to be encased in concrete.

Hmm. I see bonding screw. Do not see gec.

Read his first post.

Quick question, we're doing a new construction single family in Chicago. The tin knocker mentioned our electrical panel could not be installed under his supply runs. Before I run the ground, was curious if anyone else heard of that. We're more than 5 feet in from outside wall so have to concrete encase incoming feeders and before we do that, want to make sure panel can stay where it is.

I can't really tell from the image.
Do you think that there is enough room to the left of the panel to reroute one of the ducts and place a short gutter under the next one to the right to give you more room above the panel to enter with your conduits?

he's telling you?
