Hello everyone,
I had electrical boxes installed inside the basement area with waterproof concrete walls. Somehow, the electrician also ended up creating three electrical boxes on the outside. It seems these were nailed to the formwork boards to hold the interior boxes in place. The question now is how to best seal these from the outside. The current idea is to use concrete and repair filler. After that, as planned, a bitumen layer will be applied, followed by 12 cm (5 inches) of perimeter insulation and a dimpled membrane. Drainage is already in place (house on a slope).
Is there an alternative to using concrete and repair filler?
I would appreciate any advice.

Hello Joachim
your electrician is not the brightest bulb on the tree.
What he intended to do is clear. It would have been better to measure the distribution board accurately and attach the empty conduit box including the empty conduit accordingly. Now you have a mess. Pour resin around the box and the empty conduit.
