This is related to my question about fiberglass sweeps: http://forums.mikeholt.com/showthread.php?t=169513
We are being asked what safeguards can be used to ensure that (1) The fiberglass would not be damaged (i.e., crushed) during the filling & compacting processes, and (2) The fiberglass would not be damaged internally by the cable being pulled through it. It occurred to me that a plumber recently cleaned out my drain pipes, and that he was able to "snake" a camera through the pipes in order to monitor the progress of his cleaning tools. Do electricians have a similar camera? Can I tell the property owner that we will have the EC run a camera through the sweep (starting inside the electrical room and going in about 8 feet) to view the condition of the fiberglass conduit and show that it was not damaged? Am I just daydreaming? :slaphead:
