Underground cable

[John165]

Do you need to sleeve under ground cable going under a slab? I thought that you did, but one of our guys says no. I can't find anything in the code.

With correct depth you don’t have to sleeve by code , but why wouldn’t you anyway?

I didn’t know it was a building..

 

[John165]

It's not a building it's a small parking lot

 

[augie47]

in that case not required but, as suggested, a good idea

I agree think it would be a good idea, but not my call.
