PVC conduits and spacers are installed by the electrical contractor.A trench for the future duct bank is dug.The arrangements of the PVC pipes in a duct bank allow for easy replacement of a cable in case of a breakage or failure.ĭuct bank construction is realized in several steps. The purpose of the duct bank is to protect the electrical cables and wires from the damaging effects of extreme weather events, corrosion, temperature extremes and even vandalism. It is a commonly utilized structure in the construction of residential, commercial and industrial buildings and facilities.Ī duct bank consists of a series of PVC pipes (also called conduits) that are encased in a steel-reinforced concrete slab. Energy And Water Reporting And BenchmarkingĪ duct bank is a protective enclosure that houses electrical cables and wiring.
