Long, continuous links of flexible polyethylene conduit can be installed by two people; one drives the plow. What is the other person’s job?

• A. Guides the plow
• B. Secures the conduit to the plow
• C. Feeds the conduit into the cable chute
• D. Measures the bore depth

Answer: (C)

Feeding the conduit into the cable chute is the job because, with a plow installation, the conduit must be continuously fed into the plow’s intake as the plow moves. The person at the trench end ensures the conduit enters the chute smoothly, keeps proper tension, and guides it so it follows the plow’s bore path without kinking or snagging. This coordination is what allows long, continuous links to be pulled through efficiently. Guiding the plow is the driver’s role, measuring bore depth isn’t part of the two-person feed, and securing the conduit to the plow isn’t needed since the conduit is fed into the chute rather than attached.
