We installed underground utilities to a new mall scheduled for completion this summer. Prints called for 2" conduit for CATV and despite my bringing to the attention of the site GC's super the CATV standard calling for larger pipe no OK could be obtained to size it up and get paid for it. End result is a 1200 foot run of 2" with no pull holes (only 2-90 deg bends though).
What is the longest of this type pull you have ever successfully done...think this will fly? The pipe is sufficiently larger than the cable, but the logistics of pulling hard thru 2" are tricky...rope size,etc.
Lack of pull holes was due to sacred "buffer zones" around the project which could not have structures showing. Common here is 4" conduit with pull holes every 4-500 ft. I have the print to protect me but still am concerned about the difficulties the engineering (driven by budgets) has created. The difference in 2 and 4 inch would easily be absorbed by the owners of this project but we couldn't afford to eat it twice(it exists in a slightly shorter form elsewhere on the site).
