Tubes, tubes, and more tubes!
July 12th, 2010 - Posted By: Brad Liljequist
What’s up with all these tubes?
Tubes!
The tubes are conduit runs through the foundation. This is a photo of the concrete forms. Concrete will be poured into the forms to create the foundation walls. The tubes provide a chase for things to be run up into the unit – wires, pipes, etc.
Seems like a lot of tubes, right? We have a lot going on in these units – regular stuff like water pipes and electricity, but in our case ground source piping, extra wires for the solar panels…and who knows what else? So we have a lot of tubes.
