Well the engineer called round yesterday, took one look at where the cable goes through the brick wall (6 inches above the pavement) at a right angle, pulled the cable back through and he instantly saw that the cable was damaged at this point.

I suspect, the vibration due to the work will of caused the damage as a result of bad installation, as there is no way, that moving the cable around a bit would of stripped off the outer sheath of the cable.

However there was no mention of any charge for the replacement cable. This is happening Friday, and I assume that they pull the new cable through the conduit, using the old cable, as the conduit will be buried by then.
