When we was on site doing new builds in 80s and 90s the groundworkers used to lay a smooth bore black duct similar to the water pipe but larger bore
Can you get larger bores of this water pipe or similar
I have tried to locate this with no luck whatsoever, as i have just done a job for my brother.
Were I had to dig from house to a New large shed/ workshop at bottom of the garden the total run 34metres the actual dig about 25metres 500-600mm deep hard work to say the least
then he decided to ask me when i had installed some 40mm waste pipe with connectors all glued On the advice of a forum member and some of the blue rope which i had used to draw in the swa 6mm 3 core which was in orignally planned to be 10mm until he saw the price lol
he said Kid
will you run another to the decking we want some decking lights and wall lights on the back, but i want it fed from the shed another run of 15 metres at least but not straight he wanted me to dig a right angle trench
this is someone who gets his house plastered decorated wooden floors fitted wardrobes and then asks to sort his electrics ??
then onto the house to change the existing wylex 4 way wooden backed fuseboard and a volex split single for a new 13 way BG baoard dual RCD
then the fun really started and my black hair is deffo greyer
 
Burdens do 63mm black electric duct 50m for £50/60. Never liked to use blue poly after a farmer cut through one with a grinder to extend his "water supply". lucky man! The water pipe was 100mm to his left

I think that was the point we were making about making sure it is adequately marked with "electric cable below" tape. I agree, it is madness to simply run cable inside any pipework without adequate marking.
