National Grid Installation. Is this work acceptable?

[jimseng]

I had my meter box connected to the pole last week and when I came home I thought the work was not a standard I expect. I have contacted them but wondered what others thought.

I am concerned that the underground ducting will fill with water and remain filled as it has nowhere to drain.

The ducting is there for physical protection, not to keep it dry. I would be more concerned about the gaps where the cable can be impacted by external force. It should be armoured cable so belt and braces but it’s poor installation.
