Where possible it will be new 1/2 conduit, but some is going to have to be in site pipe with god knows what. there are a few existing sites with the circuits already in place, those we wouldnt be able to get any fiber in. I found a really good electrician we have been contracting for the last few jobs, he focuses on commercial ag, so he knows the ins and outs of elevator electric, primarily that theres water in everything, lol
