Underground Wiring

[Alwayslearningelec]

A little bit of a unique wiring situation here. Outdoor except the two storage containers that you see with the receptacles etc.

The panel these loads are being feed from are at the top of the pick next to the time clock symbol.

All underground is pvc sched 40. So I need to the containers but that’s where I’m unsure.

Should I run all underground even within the footprint of the containers and just stub up to the loads or connect all the loads piping along walls/ceilings?

This is all new construction. I have to think about container penetrations as well.

What would be easier? I would think the larger loads would do well in the slab over to the equipment. The problem with in-the-ground stuff can be an issue if they haven't decided exactly where things are going.

I agree. Do what is easiest or most cost effective if it is not spec'd. It just does not make enough difference in cases like this to select one way over another for any other reasons.

I would make a difference in my price if I ran pvc in dirt and stubbed at each load i in lieu of running a "homerun" pipe to the container then ran all RGS inside.
