Have a job with a lot of RMC Al 4" pipe. I think the guys are off to a bad start with production units and this could seriously hurt the company(like put us out) as there is over 25,000' of this conduit.
Just want to give an example of one of the runs installed so far. I understand it's tough to give feedback withoout knowing some of the particulars regarding the install but I really need some sort of feedback. The owners did agree on the labor units I used so that's that. THey have never had a job nearly this big and I really don't think they have guys that have a lot of experiecne with this big conduit. Anyway here it goes.
On a side note. Prefab elebow would obviously make the install longer??? What would determine( remeber there is a lot of this conduit) whether they should mostly be using factory elbows or being. The job is anywhere from 4 to 14 sets of conduits in a rack.
Thank you very much. Need your help.

- Ceiling are open and at 25-30'
- Working of lifts.
- Floors are opend and clear.
- Material, bending equipment, threaders etc. I assume are close to install area. THey should be right???
- (4) 100' runs of 4" RMC AL on same 2-1/2' wide trapeze racks.
- Racks are mounts to steel with beam clamps.
- Run has (4) 90 degree turns and hits a pull box. At this point it's not terminating yet at the start/finish location.
