Options for running cable to garage

[Soulcraft Electric]

Hi,

Looking at how to run a supply from a customer's CU to garage (distance from house to garage approx. 3-4ft. A path separates the two. The customer doesn't want the path being dug up and SWA being laid beneath, neither do they wish for the cable to be overhead...

I'm thinking of disc-cutting a section of path and inserting a concrete (or similar) cable trough - see CONCRETE CABLE TROUGH, CABLE TROUGHING, DUCT, ANDERTON CONCRETE CABLE TROUGHS, CABLE DUCT - https://www.cablejoints.co.uk/power-products/cable-trough-concrete for an idea (not actual, I suspect ;-)) and then using a cable such as
H07RN-F Cable | Eland Cables - https://www.elandcables.com/cables/h07rn-f-bs-en-50525-2-21-flexible-rubber-cable#range that can be used in permanently wet environments. Alternatively, a drainage channel with clear markings at at either end specifying the use (although I'm not so keen on this).

I'm starting to run out of ideas...

Thoughts appreciated.

Lay the cable on top of the path.
No digging up of path and nothing overhead.

Seen it done!

But it was a bit of a trip hazard!

Put one of these down and if needed paint it to match the path..

I had sushi for lunch from the Waitrose in centre of Bath today!! Sat in parade gardens over looking Pulteney Bridge and finished it off with a nice ice cream, then went back to work for an hour to look a bit busy and justify the amount on the invoice! its hard work changing light fittings for led ones!
Best meal deals are Marks and Spencers as i get 20% off due to family working there.

yeah, but forhowlong can you keep your foot there. the customer wants the install to last for several years. and as for eating sushi, YUK.

Its all to do with the arranging and design of spaces to change perception, usability and mood etc... think interior design meets architecture..
