Slab Ducts

I didn't know this was a thing but apparently you can have ducts embedded into the slabs:

I am painfully aware of embedded duct work, the plumbers tell me where to core their holes they missed canning, knowing where they put the kitchen and bathroom vent lines, but mistakes happen.
I didn't core through the duct, I know (feel) when the concrete ends when coring then stop to look at the anomaly and see the undamaged duct down the hole.

I thought that's pretty standard?

For condos or offices? Or both? Never noticed them when they were laying out rebar on some other projects.

It is, but apparently not common knowledge, which I thought it was, because I've noticed a few people that are taken by surprise by the fact that there is mechanical and electrical in the slabs.
