What do you guys think of the new PVC risers for underground services?

In my opinion PVC has no place being used as a riser unless it is than guarded by steel. I live in an area that gets cold. Combine cold with aged brittle PVC and you get something that breaks easily.

I'd like to know what a PVC riser is in the first place.

It is the part of an underground service raceway that breaks the surface of the ground and runs up the utility pole or building.
