High-Pressure HDPE Duct for Telecom & Utility Networks in KSA & GCC
In the GCC region, the gradually expanded digital infrastructure has led to an increased demand for ducting solutions that are reliable, long-lasting, and can withstand high pressures in telecom and utility sectors throughout the region. This is where the HDPE PE100 Main-Duct Full Black 110 mm – PN 10 comes in as it has been giving remarkable durability and functionality over the years and in many applications like the installation of high-speed fiber-optic cables, power transmission, water distribution, data networks, and smart city projects among others, etc.
The duct offers very good resistance to pressure and tensile strength as well as flexibility needed for the tough conditions of the Kingdom and Gulf like very high temperatures, saline soil, extreme desert conditions, and UV exposure. The diameter of 110 mm is the most commonly used size for the long-distance backbone ducts, telecom corridors, FTTH expansions, electrical distribution networks, and industrial applications.
The HDPE PE100 Main-Duct Full Black 110 mm – PN 10 is a pressure-rated, heavy-duty duct specifically designed for underground cable protection and utility networks. Manufactured using PE100 grade material, it delivers extremely high resistance to internal pressure and external loads including soil pressure, vehicular load, and installation forces.
Its full black color includes premium UV-stabilizing additives, providing maximum protection against sunlight, oxidation, and environmental degradation. With a smooth internal surface, the duct ensures efficient cable blowing and pulling without friction losses.
Engineered for smart infrastructure, telecom networks, backbone connectivity, industrial installations, irrigation mains, and utility conduits, this duct is widely used across KSA and Gulf infrastructure projects.

The whole offer is focused on the underground and the most testing areas where the pipes can easily support the maximum pressure of 10 bars while the installation conditions are really harsh and demanding.
Not only does the PE100 grade assure 50+ years of life expectancy for the pipes, but it also gives a win-win situation for both the governments and contractors.
The temperature range of -20°C to +60°C is great for the desert areas where the product can be safely used without any issue.
HDPE PE100 ducts are completely different from PVC or metal pipes in that they are super light, easy to transport, and require minimal installation tools.
The product can be used in saline soil, chemically active, and very corrosive industrial environments.
The smoothness of the inner surface makes the jetting for fiber-optic installations more efficient.Along with this, the pipes are compatible with jetting and blowing.
The following techniques are available:
The pipes are strong enough to withstand heavy load, stone impact, vehicle pressure, and site handling.
