Maintaining Conduits

[Alwayslearningelec]

SO their doin facade work/brick repair and they want us to keep conduits/equipment active will they do the repairs.
Is it even practical to pull the conduits off the wall while they replace the bricks.
Would there be enough play/give in the conduits to pull them far enough off?
And temporarily supporting them would be another issue.

Thanks.

It probably depends on factors that we don't know. Like exactly what kind of work is being done and how extensive it is.

Best bet might be to remove it and reassemble it after the work is done.

If they absolutely have to keep it live while the work is going on maybe some temporary cords are in order.

I am thinking you should discuss with the owner carrying enough to have an electrician on site while the brick work is being done. It looks like there would be enough play to do the work, but any conduits that have line voltage I wouldn't want to be a brick layer moving the around and taking the chance one comes apart. This way, things can be moved and put back as the work progresses.

How would you even pull this conduit off the wall for them to repoint the bricks?
Wouldn't it have to be completely removed and temped out if they want to remain active.
It looks like 4" and has to be RGS.

...and this? Wow. I'd say there's no way and they would have to temp out. Run temp inside building maybe...??
