I'll bet it comes pre made! Very nice and made in a long length - someone's got stones OR lots of offcuts!
Respects anyways! Peace out!
 
Looks neat but, given the saddle spacing on the straight run, shouldn't there be a saddle closer to the internal corners? I'd say they are a bit 'unsupported'.
 
@bigspark17 I deleted all the duplicated images for you.
 
Personally I wouldn't rate it as it breaks all the rules for number of bends without a drawing-in box etc. A conduit system must be rewireable and it is a breach of BS7671 to draw in cables until the conduit system has been completely erected.
 
OK Have just noticed a couple of BESA boxes now that the pictures have been tidied up but most of what I said still stands. Four ninety degree bends between boxes?!?!?!
 
I think an exception has to be made here, a pull box would have been better at both sides instead of just one, however if there are not a lot of cables in it they would have been easily pulled in. You cannot deny that it hasn't been well executed.
 
A box mid-way on the front of the pier,would have allowed ease of pulling,and additional support...but we're getting a bit picky...

Go and check out Aesop's fables,when the Gods were asked to make the perfect man,and note the moral :)
 
There is no where in bs7671 that states max 4 bends only in the OSG, it is up to the designer as to whether the cables can be drawn in without additional pull boxes and so as not to suffer damage, the installation above may only canitain a couple 2.5mm in that case it would be compliment as they could be pulled in easily, but if it contained 4 x 4mm it would be a different story and I agree they haven't installed sufficient pull boxes thus non complying.

A through box on each side of the bull nosed wall would have been better.

Do we actually know what cable is in there? It could be just one length of cat 5.
Its a neat job, whether or not it complies we cannot really comment on unless we know the full details.
