running new conduit, existing commercial warehouse, where to support?
I'm running a new conduit in an existing commercial warehouse. The path I need to take along a metal beam already has several conduits, so I don't really see where there is room for me to mount it. I planned to have it travel over the existing conduit. How can I do this? Can I mount to the already mounted conduit?

Since this is commercial space there is a very good chance it requires a licensed contractor.

Well... it is not hanging. The other conduits are on top of the beam. So I guess "resting" would be the better word?

You said the other conduits were on top of the beam, you could run a new conduit and hang it from the beam.

There were already conduits (low voltage) underneath the beam. And on the side of the beam too... anyway I found a different solution. Thanks
