It was one of the few fire alarm cables that was fixed! Most were just thrown about above the suspended ceilings. Don't worry, they are all fixed properly now, and that cable shown has been replaced.

Maybe they got the wrong size and used a bit of imagination as a result. 🙄

Was it actually connected under that cover?

I hope so as that’s where the cable goes. There’s no other point it can be as the rest of the ground is concrete and paving slabs and the CU is directly above where that cable enters. I’ve searched all along the outside back wall where this is and there are no other access points. So if it’s not it’s buried in concrete anyway or under a paving slab somewhere, which are all concreted in.

I thought those are basically a single entry conduit box? If so, logically the rod itself should be directly underneath. Or am I missing something?

It should be underneath, as you say. It's just a PITA that ducting wasn't used.
My guess is that the high Ze was noted and he won't be doing anything further about until someone's agreed to pay for remedial work. Otherwise I'd have thought the cover would already have been lifted, wire and rod tested with wander lead or Ra test etc.

For the avoidance of any doubt with those not seeing the problem as I have one on the van. The boxes are in 2 pieces which split as shown as the top is solid under the label. The box is concreted in so my intention will be to use a 25mm hole saw and see if the connection is solid and take it from there.
