When you use our NEC compliant Excellerate Duct Bank solution, your workers are exposed to the Trench DANGER ZONE for much LESS time. According to many safety institutions trenching is one of the most dangerous activities in construction. It actually makes us look good, that the contractor can only find one thing we've "overdesigned" and it doesn't amount to anything.Working in trenches can be dangerous. So we laugh, and say put it in per design. So we have them quantify the amount the owner will save, and it invariably comes out to $5000 or $10,000. Alfred Miller Companies, in Louisiana is a leading manufacturer of industrial precast concrete duct banks serving the Gulf Coast. Side note: Whenever we have a VE (Value Engineering) phase on a project, the first thing the contractor wants to eliminate is duct bank reinforcing. There's no real design, but I have used the reinforcing to span the duct bank over a temporary trench. They're reinforced with #4's around the perimeter at 12 inch spacing and #4 ties at 24 inch centers. There's a lot of casual concrete (waste concrete, thrust blocks, foundation extensions, etc.), but if the backhoe operator sees red, he's been warned. There's a lot of reasons that don't hold up to close examination, but bottom line is, that if you're in a water or wastewater treatment facility, you're likely to be digging a trench through it or a hole into it. We reinforce electrical duct banks and require them to be red.
