Miami Beach Code Requirements

[Ric@LM]

Requirements for running sub-feeds under an existing South Beach hotel.
Due to wet conditions, would PVC be required?Engineering specs on plan show IMC or Rigid Metallic Conduit. Due to conditions under existing hotel, I believe inspection authority won't approve metal conduit. Please advise if I am correct or incorrect.
Due to varying conditions of job, my electrical room has been reduced in size.
I was told that electrical panels cannot be mounted closer than 36" from the edge of the door opening.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Any of the above are allowed in wet areas or underground however, speaking from experience, PVC is the better choice around Salt Water even if the engineer(s) don't agree.

I believe inspection authority won't approve metal conduit.

If they are inspecting per the NEC and no other codes they would have to accept it.

There is no such requirement speaking only of the NEC.

Weren't the plans reviewed and approved by the same authority doing the inspections?
