How would this be possible?
If the pipes are metal, they could have used a metal detector to see if there was something there. As the building dates from the '80s, there is a good chance that this was before plastic pipes were used in walls.

I'd imagine a concrete slab floor is full of rebar, which would limit a metal detectors ability to tell what it's looking at.
Granted they shouldn't be drilling through rebar either; but in a properly build structure rebar damage isn't an immediate catastrophe.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Its now late to discuss this, but would placing a short table, or small wooden stool on top of the existing power outlet been a simpler solution. At least it will be visible so that nobody trips on it.

Yeah, but we'd have a short table or small wooden stool in the middle of the room
Plus all the cables that come from it, as they're one of the few outlets we have.

If it were India, we would have placed an image / deity of a God on top of that short table, centrally located and spreading auspiciousness all around the office.

I can just see the recruiting ad: "In our office, it's always Beer O'Clock!"

Do you own or lease the office? If you lease, get the owner to do it. If you own, then as follows:
Are you raising or lowering outlets? If so, do it yourself. It's not that hard to do.
I've done in my own homes and it meets code. It's mostly a mechanical process.
If you are adding outlets, then you will need some electrical assistance.

Lease, but the owner isn't paying for this.
I can't even hang a painting on the wall, I'm not doing anything myself.
Besides, it involves drilling in concrete, we're moving outlets from the middle of the room to the walls.

And now you know why the power outlets have never been moved from the centre of the office.

Abstract Void - Forward to the Past[^]
Not sure how I found this one, but it's pretty great!
Abstract Void mixes synthwave and (post-)black metal.
Not an obvious mix, but it works really well.
Other than that, nothing is known about Abstract Void.
Their official bio says it's a one-man project from the planet Earth.
Now brought to you on website CodeProject
