Master Electrician Dad Tells Son To Avoid Trenching Underground..as it’s not worth it Thoughts?

What did you learn today, Chris? >> Do not trench in grounds where there's gas lines. >> Do not trench. There's the possibility of a hazardous location. If they want you to trench, that's when you you shut it down. You're like, "Look, we we can't trench. You guys trench, okay? >> You handle that. You get the permit for that. You do the mark out, you do all that, and we'll just lay the conduit, pull the wire." But that run was so long, 1,000 foot. When you're all said and done, you have to put in hand holes. >> What's a handhole? So a handhole is preformed device in where it has no bottom. It will just slip right down and there'll be openings in the side. >> How many hand holes do you need for like a th00and foot run underground? >> No, it all depends on the topography. It depends if it's smooth, if depends on how big, what size wire, but I would say rule of thumb is every 250 ft would be a handhole application. So again, what did you learn today? >> Do not trench when there's environmental hazards. Do not trench if there's the possibility of environmental hazards. >> Darren Henderson. >> Andy the Sparky. >> Andy the Sparky. Another one.
