Is it allowed for a pipeline of fire water and electrical conduits to pass through the same opening?

Hello guys.. in my current Project, the contractor has installed a wáter pipeline for fire fighting system passing trought the same opening with electrical conduits (as you can see in picture lines below). It is allowed under NFPA? All FF installations must follow-up NFPA codes.
I would appreciate yuor kindly help.

Eduardo,

I would start with 110.26 and its subsections in the NFPA and look at the dedicated space provisions. That is the section I would be using if this was in a project I was reviewing.

Nothing really in NFPA.
Might be a issue with Fire Stopping depending on assembly.

One potential I do see, is that the conduit appears to be touching the sprinkler piping.

NFPA 13 requires nothing be supported from the sprinkler piping.

It is a foreign item touching the sprinkler piping per NFPA 25.
