I have never had this happen with a conduit filled and energized, which is good. But I have also never pulled wire in a conduit where grading was not already done. The only way I can think to handle the situation is to de-energize, patch, and then re-pull and tie the wires back in. What are the chances that a crushed piece of PVC will protect a wire? Not very high I think. I don't like the solution that the GC came up with and decided to implement.

Also, what GC would think he is qualified to do electrical work! Especially if he’s dumb enough to play around with hot feeders! Anyways, scary scary stuff! [Linked Image]
