Default How much settling


wrote in message

Hi,

We dug a trench to lay some wires in a 2" conduit a foot deep and a
foot wide. After we refill and put sod back on it, how much settlement
can we expect? In other words, how far above level should we leave it?



*If these are electrical wires the conduit should be at least 18" deep
unless the circuit is GFI protected. If this is for an electrical service
the conduit should be deeper.
