Why Conduit piping on the floor is loosing popularity?

Most Electrical contractors in Nigeria prefer distributing there electrical conduits on the floor. Most times, they prefer running their lighting circuits high above in the ceiling or below the upper slab. Then run their socket circuits on the floor. This idea seems genius but has its challenges.

1. Risk of being damaged during construction

Running your socket circuits on the floor using conduit pipes makes your electrical conduits prone to damages from impacts during construction. Usually, before ridges are made around your conduit pipes, most conduit pipes are left exposed. Most times the complexity of the conduit pipe network makes it difficult for individuals moving around the space avoid stepping on parts of the conduit pipe and damaging them. The extent of the damage is based on the conduit pipes strength. However, no mater how strong the conduit pipes are, they usually get damaged or flattened from regular impacts. This in effect makes it difficult for cables to be pulled through the conduit pipes.
