back fill trench for electrical in slab
I have a trench cut the is 6 ft by 4 inches long that I put PVC conduit for electrical to my island. I need to backfill with concrete. Can I use something like Quikrete NON-SHRINK PRECISION GROUT to backfill that or is there another Quikrete product that is better? Thanks

Just fill deep areas with gravel, install vapor barrier (5 mil plastic will do), then just pour regular concrete mix.
Grout is not intended for something that thick.
Also, I see copper tubing under the slab. Wrap that with something like insulation. Do not let concrete contact copper tubing.
