How can you protect conduit from physical damage in high-traffic areas?

Using surface-mounted conduit and safety barriers is an effective method to protect conduit from physical damage in high-traffic areas. Surface-mounted conduit is installed above ground, which allows for visibility and accessibility while providing a straightforward path for electrical wiring. However, in high-traffic areas where the risk of contact with pedestrians or vehicles is elevated, implementing safety barriers adds an additional layer of protection. These barriers can absorb impact and help prevent accidental damage to the conduit from moving objects or foot traffic, ensuring the integrity of the electrical system within.

While painting conduit bright colors can make them more visible, it does not provide tangible protection from physical impacts. Installing conduits underground may shield them from external physical damage but is not always practical or feasible in all settings and does not address the need for surface-mounted solutions in high-traffic areas. Applying a protective coating could offer some resistance to elements but would not necessarily safeguard against physical impacts common in busy environments.
