A reasonable slope, sufficient space with all cables pulled to
allow for good airflow, and a way to force air through it as
necessary and you are good to go.

Sure, but unlike New Orleans where local politicians diverted funds
from the levees to parks and short-cut the quality of construction,
if you build 'em right they will do the intended job for a very
long time!

Same with buried PVC for cables - ask the folks who have done
it successfully - and have learned from their prior mistakes!
