True. Some are just downright awful.

I as just thinking to avoid unnecessary joints.
But thank you anyway for your helpful, constructive, and civil comment.
Apologies, but really SWA would be by far the more sensible option for this.

Why do you think that?
It obviously doesn't need to be armoured indoors.
Outdoors it's entirely enclosed in twinwall ducting in a location where it is not going to be damaged by digging, and arguably it isn't actually "buried" in the ground.

A couple of clarifications.
1) Re the "buried" cable. It's in a 50mm twinwall duct, running between a paved patio and a fence and then the base of the outbuilding and the fence. I dug a trench about 60mm deep and laid the duct in it, then covered the space between the fence and patio/base with geotextile, onto which went about 50-100mm of decorative stone chippings.
2) Re the "lift shaft".
OK - I can see what the regulations clearly say.
However I strongly suspect that when they wrote that they were not thinking of small domestic lifts which are not within the scope of BS EN 81.
This is the reality:
To give an idea of scale, what you can see running behind the frame of the lift, and, given the E-stop button, safety prop and hi-tech plastic tub for collecting drips of oil, clearly beyond where the lift platform extends, are 4 rows of 40mm trunking.
I'm really not bothered about the contravention of 528.3.5, if there even is one given the definition of my equipment as a "lift".
