Is the below suitable for an underground connection. It is IP67 rated and is waterproof.

Thanks. What is that cold pour kit?

The cable which feeds my garden lights is buried under the path (in conduit) has been hit by the contractor who installed our gates. Was going to cut out the damaged bit and replace.

Metal conduit ?
It is a cold pour epoxy resin which sets solid and makes a permanent waterproof joint, however isn't really suitable for a conduit. Can you replace the length of conduit?

 

[plugwash]

is this conduit metal or plastic?
is the wiring mains or ELV?
has the wiring been done as a proper conduit job allowing new cable to be pulled through

I'm guessing that replacing the whole conduit would be a major pain as it is probablly burried.

 

[Spark123]

Maybe, but if the conduit is badly damaged then may be the best course of action

 

[plugwash]

any conduit of nontrivial length will have joints in it anway, I don't see how a couple more would be a major problem.

I suppose you could try putting a running joint and a short length of conduit in, will mean pulling the cables out whilst that is done and fishing wires through again after which if a long length might not be that easy.
Metal conduit isn't that easy to work with without the correct tools i.e. stock + die and pipe vice.
