[TowerTalk] Pull Rope in Conduits?

[Alan Swinger]

If you know what cables will be in the several runs of PVC, an alternative is to lay them out next to the trenches and slide the PVC sections into place over the cables. Then glue them as you lay them into the trenches. You can include the pull rope in to the bundle for future use. This method has worked for me at several locations.
Good luck,
Alan K9MBQ
