Cover for Electrical Panel Boxes

The covering for the panel boxes can be made one of two ways. A wall box like it was before or it can be made as a shed covering the panels extending beyond the water main for Building B.














If you look at the bottom of the picture on the ground where the cover plate is, this is the water main for Building B. It extends 4' from the wall. If we build a shed to cover the Electricl panel, we need to build the shed to extend over the water main. The width of the panel boxes jus inside the hose bib is 7'9". For estimation purposes I said 8'.

The problem with not covering the entire panel boxes to the ground is because of all the spalling work that we just had to repair around the old panel. Here is a picture of the pipes as they entered into the building slab of Unit 406.













The base of each pipe had completely rusted through. The rusting created the spalling which then translated into a serious need to remove the concrete surrounding the pipes, treating the pipes then patching the concrete slab. This has all now been repaired.
