I was on a job last year where some backfilling/grading was going on, and some feeder conduit was damaged by the backhoe operator. Since the feeder was already pulled, and energized, we told the GC that it would take about a day to get it taken care of. Since it was already inspected, and the GC was scheduled to have a grade inspection and concrete pour in about a couple of hours, the GC did a quick patch during lunch by slicing a section of oversized pvc and glueing the pieces together and over the ends of the existing pvc (after somehow removing the badly damaged portion). The electrical contractor I worked seemed oblivious or unconcerned about this whole thing. I guess it was one of those prudent "look the other way" business decisions. Does this happen very often? Has anyone else dealt with this scenario in any different way?
