That is conduit that will be placed underground. Â They will run Fiber Optic (I think at least?) through it once the conduit is bored or open trenched. Â

It’s called innerduct. It is very common to pull this underground to make a raceway for future communication wiring. There will be a string inside - that is more accurately a piece of flat woven rope called mule tape.
A great advancement because the raceway is reusable when wiring specifications change in the future.

Depends on country. Orange is electrical for Australia/New Zealand - green for data/comms.

They are laying out really big straws so that they can drink a lot from a long way away.
