Well it is sandy fill and the building is on driven piles about 1000.
When the sand gets washed out over time the pipes will sag and eventually pull out of the gear.
Those are 1/4" rods that will tie in to the rebar in the slab to support the conduits.
Most importantly it's in the specs.

It took me about 40 hours to plan this out. Laying out the rooms, upsizing conduits for aluminum cable, coordinating with the plumbers.

I still haven't made it to the branch circuits.

Tell me more about the temp service.
We have another temp service for the job trailers and conexes.

This is missing a disconnect.

Each disconnect will feed a set of two 100A temp panels in the building. The panel will feed those outlets, whatever saw for the masons and another temp panel in the building closest to the service.
400A service.
It will be running ~100 amps of just temp lighting.

Nursing home right in the middle of the projects in NOLA.

It is something that plumbers do here very often since there pipes have to be straight and true.
We very rarely have to do this but it was in the specs on this one.
We had the plumbers make them for us at about 3k for about 1000 hangars

Looks like a good job.

Keep us updated with pics.:thumbsup:
I'm not doing this job but will be out there frequently and E-Dub will be sending me pictures regularly.

I'm not supposed to be on my tools says the boss man but it sure is hard to resist.

I was there Monday going over the layout and making sure the plan was understood.
Me and E-Dub did this.
