looks neat but wasteful. i ama assuming the green conduit/pipe isnt for cables with those 90 elbows

and wiring the CU with wire links as busbar just looks wrong (but at least the busbar wiring was done as a ring !?)


but it is always interesting (to me anyway) seeing other countries wiring methods

neat but I’m thinking why……

(not why is it neat, why lay all that conduit)


feeding in the wires is gonna be fun
 
Who is this "we"? :) I could certainly give you an answer for 'me'!

Kind Regards, John
I mean is it a conventional practice here?

I suppose I’ve only seen domestic jobs - extensions / new build and generally on a ground floor with slab, cables are laid then covered in pvc channel and up the walls in oval.

Clearly not at all common.

I rather doubt that you'd often see it in non-domestic situations (if any), since the cable management tends to be 'more sensible' in those.

I guess in offices it’s mostly run in cable trays suspended from the ceiling then hidden with ceiling tile system.
Exactly, As I wrote, "... cable management tends to be 'more sensible' in those ... "

I saw may sites in southern Africa using conduit in screed, very inflexible IMHO, UK sites I have been on tend to be precast /Bison slabs, with cabling & services run over head above suspended ceilings on tray or basket
