WHY PE100 + PN16 IS THE GOLD STANDARD IN GULF INFRASTRUCTURE

1. PE100 = Maximum strength, maximum durability

  • PE100, comes through as the strongest commercial HDPE grade and that means:
  • overcoming the impact with no damage at all
  • creeping to die later than at the up to hundred years’ limit
  • not cracking under high stress as soon as it would on usual PE pipes
  • holding water 25% longer than the trumpet of the best quality
  • living on 50–75 years more.

2. PN16 = Heavy-duty pressure rating

A pipe with PN16 rating is capable of holding 16 bar pressure, which renders it suitable for:

  • road crossing
  • extremely deep burial
  • locations with load-bearing requirements
  • treacherous terrains
  • factories
  • public utilities

3. UV-stabilized black color

The duct's totally black outer coating prevents the UV rays from coming through, thus extending the surface life during storage or installation. UV-stabilization is a necessity in the Gulf region, where the temperature in summer can rise to over 50°C due to the hot seasons.

KEY FEATURES OF HDPE PE100 MAIN-DUCT 110MM PN16

1.  High-pressure resistance

Thanks to its PN16 classification, the duct easily handles stress from soil, load, and pull forces.

2.  Crack & abrasion resistance

Ideal for pulling long-distance telecom or electrical cables without damaging the inner wall.

3.  Flexibility in installation

Unlike PVC or metal conduits, HDPE ducts bend easily, simplifying installation around curves.

4.  Corrosion-proof & chemical-resistant

Suitable for varying soil types across KSA, including saline regions, desert sand, and chemically reactive soil.

5.  Smooth internal surface for cable blowing

PE100 ducts support air-blowing and jetting, a critical requirement for fiber installations.

6.  Long life with minimal maintenance

Once installed, the duct requires almost zero maintenance, reducing long-term cost of ownership.

APPLICATIONS OF HDPE PE100 110MM PN16 IN KSA & GULF

1. Fiber Optic Networks & 5G Expansion

They are the networks which together make it possible to install optical fibers over long distances in the cities, on the highways, and on the cross-country routes.

2. Telecommunication Backbone Networks

These plus the mentioned Saudi telecom operators, enterprise networks, data centers, and backbone infrastructure are all very well-matched.

3. Electrical Cable Protection

Among the various applications where it is used, the installation of medium voltage and underground low voltage electrical cables is the most important one.

4. Smart City Infrastructure

This technology is used in various ways in smart city projects such as connecting sensors, IoT cabling, surveillance systems, and intelligent transportation systems.

5. Oil & Gas Industrial Applications

The protection and safety of instrumentation cables in zones where the presence of chemicals is aggressive are offered.

6. Road & Highway Crossings

It has a strength of PN16 and guarantees stability even under heavy traffic and deep-burial installations.

7. Water Desalination & Utility Corridors

It is used extensively in the underground utility tunnels and multi-service corridors of the Gulf cities.

HOW THE DUCT IS USED (Installation Process)

1. Trenching or HDD Drilling

Suitable for both trenching and horizontal directional drilling, commonly used in KSA for road crossings.

2. Placement & Bedding

Ducts are bedded in sand or fine soil to avoid sharp stone contact.

3. Jointing

Using:

  • Butt-fusion welding

  • Electrofusion couplers
    Both ensure leak-proof, permanent joints.

4. Cable Pulling or Blowing

The smooth inner surface reduces friction, allowing:

  • Jetting of fiber cables

  • Pulling of power cables

  • Multi-cable installations

5. Marking & Backfilling

Warning tapes and markers are used before the trench is filled.

BENEFITS FOR CONTRACTORS & GOVERNMENT PROJECTS IN KSA & GCC

✔ Government compliance

Standards for Gulf telecom and civil defense approvals have been achieved.

✔ Ideal for Mega Projects

More than essential in NEOM, Red Sea, Qiddiya, Dubai Smart City, Qatar 2030, Oman ICT expansion, etc.

✔ Faster installation

The reduction of labor cost is due to HDPE being lighter than concrete conduits.

✔ Cost-effective long-lasting performance

Stable operation for decades is assured by no rust, corrosion, or cracking.

✔ Suitable for extremely hot climates

It is designed to work at 60°C which is common in the summer months over the Gulf.

WHY IT IS THE TOP CHOICE IN THE GULF REGION

1. Designed for desert soil

Handles shifting sand, soft soil, and rocky terrains.
