New Construction-Deck Pours

[mstrlucky74]

So you have a multi story building with decks being poured and a hoist. I assume the hoist is always a few floors behind the deck pours. How does the electrical crew/layout guys get from the last hoist floors to the deck being poured? Stairs I imagine??:dunce:

How about the equipment the might be to heavy to lug up the stairs? Crane?

The deck carpenter build ladders, typically in the elevator shafts to move from floor to floor on the levels above the hoist. Large material is lifted by the crane. We use a large dumpster looking box called a boat that we pre-load with materials on the ground and then have it picked to the top deck when needed.

All of the branch circuiting in the deck was PVC jacketed MC cable. Those are pre-cut jumpers of various lengths.

How quickly the industry changes.

I was told when the PVC mc turns down or up into a wall th PVC must be stripped? True?

That's the way we do it. IMO it changes the listing of the cable but no one seems to care about that.

Does it take long?

I comes off rather easily, length of time is dependent on the length.
