Question 9 • SVHS Building Construction ##FA

Why might construction crews want to install pipes before the foundation is poured?

Answer
A
Plumbing crews are more expensive than concrete masons; therefore it is cheaper if they do their work first.
B
All utilities, including electrical and HVAC, are installed before the foundation is laid.
C
Plumbing must feed into municipal water and sewer lines buried below the foundation.
D
Pipes form an important component of the structural integrity of a foundation.

Explanation

Drain and water pipes that pass beneath a foundation need to be positioned before the concrete is poured, so they can connect to the municipal water and sewer lines. Installing them afterward could require cutting through the finished foundation. The correct choice is “Plumbing must feed into municipal water and sewer lines buried below the foundation.”
