Kind of interesting, aside from ones own pride in workmanship do other trades have to install EMT to NEC standards if they choose to use it?

We work for a customer that sells flowers, a contractor for them (not electrical) uses 2" EMT to run plastic tubes that carry nutrients to the plants from a central location out to the flower displays.

They by no means install this as the NEC describes.

But does it matter?

They are not bound by the NEC.

As for the 'Air Gaps' left by data cabling guys what is the violation?

Data cables are not required to be in enclosures so a complete raceway system can be just a short section of raceway.

Not saying I like sloppy work, just asking for a violation to cite.

I do not think there is one.
