NEC 230.6, (2) Brick encased wall

[gflageolle]

I'm new to this forum and I have a question asked to me by the contractor:
Is there a brick and mortar type requirement for this type of brick encasement of the service lateral in a building wall?

I believe as long as it is encased in brick (all the way around the conduit) then it is considered outside the building. The question is whether the power company will allow it.
