Assuming the load calculations are good, based on what you see here, do you have enough/correct information to approve this riser diagram for the service?

Unable to approve this service as submitted, more detail is needed. It appears that service conductors to the main switch and feeders from the main switch are sharing the same 'New Wireway', this is not permitted per NEC 230.7.

I agree. Once we have more information we can then determine the size of the GEC. Yes, the way they are showing the new wireway, they will definitely be in violation of 230.7. I am also curious as to where they will terminate the GEC (I suspect they will terminate it to the gutter which will be another problem). It is just a bad design.
