ᐅ How many conduits are advisable to install when pouring the foundation slab?

Hello,

The telecom and power lines enter my house through PVC conduit pipes, and the potable water comes in via a flexible hose.

A few meters away from the point where these lines enter the house, there will be a cistern with a pump. Is it possible to pull the electrical cable through together with the telecom and power cables? In that case, would two PVC conduit entries be sufficient? I am also planning to install an additional PVC conduit on the opposite side of the house to create another access point. All conduits will be DN 100.

Does this sound appropriate? Are there any alternative suggestions?

Thank you!

Available at any well-stocked building materials supplier. Not at a hardware store...

So, we also have a 4-duct multi-utility conduit with the following layout: gas, electric, and telecom. Water, like in your case, runs through a separate flexible hose. This means we still have one free duct. Additionally, there is a 100mm (4 inches) flexible pipe from the house to the garage, currently containing a 16mm² (0.025 in²) electric cable, 2 LAN cables, and a coaxial cable.

We paid around €800 for the multi-utility conduit.

Hmm, honestly, I didn’t really want to know that in such detail...

But seriously, I was aware that you can’t get something like that at Thomas Philipps. Unfortunately, my research showed prices starting from €750 (about $810) and up. So it seems perfectly reasonable to ask—maybe he has special purchasing conditions, maybe it’s a net price, who knows. In that sense, your post isn’t helpful at all. But thanks anyway.

And with a house construction, the extra 150 (difference between 750 and 600) is too much for you? Great, that’s going to be...
