Working on a project that consists of two buildings. We are doing #1. #2 is by others. They were supposed to connect to a communications conduit we installed some months ago. Oops. They not only did not connect, but stubbed out on the opposite side of the building. Do you hear the sound of concrete saws and jack hammers yet?

Ooops.... that's what happens when projects are done that way.

Did they read the plans upside down? Maybe they thought they were working on building #1.

SONGS, in the 1970's, laid out unit two 180 degrees backwards and poured footings that way.
one of my first journeymen was telling the tale.... it was a serious oopsie.

No problem. Just keep putting that PVC in the ground. Only 24,901 miles to go. :thumbsup:

do you tie rocks to the conduit when crossing oceans to keep the pipe from floating?
that concern has kept me from attempting ocean crossings with pvc.... GRC
on the other hand, doesn't have a problem with floating.... so maybe the simplist
solution would be just to use GRC when crossing oceans.... but it'd have to be OCAL
with the corrosion issue.......

I was involved with a plant retooling where two GCs were used. The line of demarcation was a particular aisle.

As you might guess every pipe and every conduit stopped at the respective GC's side of the aisle.

the owner ended up hiring one of them to connect up the pipes and conduit across the aisle. lots of OT. hundreds of junction boxes.

Inspected an auto assembly plant that bid the jobs out in such a manner that the installation of one panel, a feeder and then a second panel often involved 3 or 4 contractors. Unbelievable problems.
Contractor 1 would mount the panel and install supply conduit, Contractor 2 would be responsible for the conductor install and possibly termination. Contractor 3 would install the feeder conduit to Point A, Contractor 4, from A to termination... and so forth...
