Question: Regarding parking lot light installs, is the EC usually required to install the concrete bases or is that the responsibility of the concrete guy? Also, is the PVC and subsequent stub ups through the concrete tube installed before or after the tubular forms are set?
Concrete Bases
Typically, the concrete guy is responsible for installing the concrete bases. The electrical contractor (EC) may provide the specifications for the bases, but the actual installation and pouring of the concrete is usually handled by a concrete contractor.
PVC and Stub-Ups
The PVC conduit and stub-ups are typically installed
before the tubular forms are set. This allows the conduit to be properly positioned and secured within the concrete bases. After the concrete is poured and cured, the stub-ups can be trimmed to the appropriate height for connecting the light fixtures. Flag for review
