Heavy-Duty Direct Burial Electrical Conduit for KSA & Gulf Region
With the continuation of the Gulf Region’s infrastructure expansion, the demand for underground conduit systems that are reliable, durable, and high-performance has skyrocketed. The Direct Burial PVC type DB-100 Conduit – 25 mm (¾″) is the solution to this problem as it provides excellent mechanical protection and a long service life for low-voltage power, communication, and control cables.
This conduit is meant to be buried directly in the ground without any concrete encasement; thus, it not only makes installation easier but also lessens project costs at the same time. Moreover, it ensures the long-term safety of the cables. Its DB-100 heavy-wall classification qualifies it for use in high-risk areas, urban infrastructure, and industrial sites where strength and durability are required the most.
The PVC Type DB-100 Conduit – 25 mm (¾″) is a heavy-wall, high-strength direct burial conduit designed for maximum protection of underground electrical and communication cables without the need for concrete encasement. Manufactured from premium rigid PVC, it offers enhanced mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, chemical stability, and long-term durability, making it ideal for residential, commercial, and light industrial projects.
With its DB-100 classification, this 25 mm conduit provides thicker walls and higher impact resistance than standard DB-60 conduits, ensuring safe cable protection against soil pressure, accidental digging, and environmental stress. Its smooth interior facilitates easy cable pulling, while its non-conductive nature ensures electrical safety.
Widely used in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait, the PVC DB-100 25 mm conduit is a cost-effective, reliable, and future-ready solution for underground electrical networks, telecom cabling, and utility infrastructure, performing efficiently in high-temperature, sandy, and saline soil conditions.
