Thank to everyone who replied to my query. You have asuaged my fears and will
proceed with embedding my feedline conduit in the tower foundation. I will
likely cap the schedule 80 conduit with a termination similar to that which is
used for overhead electrical utility lines feeding a meter base. I can’t recall
the actual name for this cap at the moment, but you get the idea.
Regards, Blair.

Good afternoon, All.
I have not found a satisfactory answer to whether or not a 2 or 3" schedule 40
PVC conduit, installed ~3' below grade and into a 5' x 5' x 4' deep
steel-reinforced free standing tower foundation will derate or harm the slab's
overall integrity. I am preparing for my new tower (to be installed next
spring) and would like to bring the cable feeds up inside the tower base
thereby eliminating tripping hazards and other aesthetic concerns.
Thanks in advance,
Blair VE3ZBM
