Hello,
can someone explain how it works with the utility conduits? On one hand, there is the multi-utility house entry, and on the other hand, there's the use of PVC sewer pipes (known as KG pipes in some regions), right?
That means 3 or 4 pipes are installed side by side in the foundation slab and extended outside. The actual cables, such as the power cable from the house connection pillar or the telecom cable, go inside these pipes. The company responsible for the drinking water supply provides a separate flexible conduit specifically for that purpose. Inside this flexible conduit lies the blue drinking water pipe.
Does this (green) flexible conduit then also need to be installed inside a PVC sewer pipe? In other words, does the blue drinking water pipe go inside the green flexible conduit, which in turn goes inside a PVC sewer pipe?
Thanks and best regards

I just received a quote from the civil engineering company using KG pipes. Now I’m wondering if there’s anything special I need to pay attention to here. Do required conduit pipes need to be included at this stage, or does that happen later in a different phase of construction? So that this stage really only concerns the utility pipes?
By the way, what is a good/fair price for installing the KG pipes? I just don’t have a sense for it to be able to judge.
Thanks!

Should any required empty conduit pipes already be specified at this stage, or does that usually happen later, in a different construction phase? So that here it really only concerns the utility pipes?

Thanks! May I ask what they are charging for installing the KG pipes?
In our case, the construction company just handled it, but it was not listed in the quote.
It’s not that much cheaper, though.
On top of that, there’s the waterproofing and the segment seals.
For that price, you could almost get a multi-utility installation with less effort involved.
But in your area, it seems to be common practice to work with PVC sewer pipes.
At least now you have a price and know which option to go with.

the segment sealsare not exactly cheap! Here, we installed one from Rabeneick ("non-pressurized water") for a single 125mm (5 inches) PVC pipe. Even the plastic version cost 120€ including tax, and I didn’t dare to ask about the stainless steel one.
