HDPE PE100 Main Duct Full Black 110 mm – PN 16
HDPE PE100 Main-Duct 110mm PN16
Heavy-Duty Cable Protection Duct for Telecom & Power Networks in KSA & GCC
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.

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.
