When is it permissible to wire tie a wire to a conduit?
What kind of wire? If it's a power wire, why is the place wired with conduit? Commercial buildings must put all power wiring in conduit, so if you're planning to run romex in a commercial building, the answer would be "no", it's not permissible. If it's data wire, note that there may be some "crossover" interference if the data wire follows a power wire for very much distance. It's usually not a problem to cross a conduit and tie to it, but it's generally recommended that you not tie data cable to conduit.
What are the main principles concerning conduit bodies?
Conduit bodies are used to provide pulling access in a run of conduit, to conserve space where a full size bend radius would be impractical, to allow more bends to be made in a section of conduit or to split a conduit path into multiple directions.
How would you ensure that underground services pipes cables etc will not be damaged by planting or root growth?
The best way would be to use rigid PVC conduit for electrical installations. Glue the joints well so that no water can penetrate. As an additional protection the conduit can be embedded in concrete. If this route is chosen, have at least three inches of concrete surround the conduit. Using cinder building blocks on their side and feeding the conduit through them will stop the conduit from floating to the surface when the concrete is poured. Using a form along side the cinder block's ends will save on concrete. The forms can be stripped when the concrete sets up or can be left in place and just buried.
What reaming method is there available to remove concrete inside a 2 PVC conduit?
It may be easier to simply cut out the section of conduit and replace it.
