High-Pressure Cable & Utility Ducting for Gulf Infrastructure
The demand for high-performance ducting systems in the Gulf region rapidly increased, especially in the countries listed above, thanks to the above-mentioned factors—telecommunication network expansion, smart city projects, industrial zones, and massive utility developments—among such demand. Besides, the ducting system must be able to withstand high temperatures, rough soil conditions, long-term outdoor exposure, and heavy-load environments. The HDPE PE100 Main-Duct Full Black 160 mm – PN 16 is a perfect example of a product that can meet such standards.
The duct is made of the finest PE100 grade high-density polyethylene which is the most popular and versatile material in the plastic piping world owing to its astounding pressure resistance, very long life, great flexibility, and excellent resistance to rust and chemicals. The 160 mm diameter is the correct size for heavy-duty installations, large cable bundles, utility conduits, pressured water transfer lines, and underground infrastructure networks. It is not only rated PN 16, but also able to withstand very high pressures and thus is good for both fluid and cable arrangements protection.
he HDPE PE100 Main-Duct 160mm PN16 is a high-strength, high-performance duct manufactured using PE100 grade HDPE material, engineered to withstand heavy loads, high pressure, and harsh environmental conditions.
The duct is fully black with UV protection additives that allow it to perform exceptionally well in extreme Gulf temperatures, ensuring long-term stability and consistent performance.
It is a preferred duct choice for:
Telecom backbone cable installation
Fiber optic main-line cable protection
Electrical power distribution cable ducts
High-pressure fluid transfer lines
Industrial conduit systems
Utility infrastructure in oil & gas, desalination plants, and mega projects
Because of its large 160 mm internal diameter, it efficiently supports major cable bundles, trunk lines, and multi-cable networks used in large-scale infrastructure projects.

PE100 is suggested as a material:
This ensures that the pipe will not fail due to high pressures and heavy loads.
Duct is fully black and designed with UV resistance so it will not die or lose its quality under the brutal Gulf sun; moreover, it will be good for outdoor, rooftop, and open-space installations.
With a PN 16 rating, the duct can safely endure a pressure of 16 bars, meaning it is perfect for the protection of pressurized cables and for industrial utility lines.
The internal surface is frictionless and guarantees that cable pulling will be done quick and safely thus reducing the installation time and avoiding damages to cables.
HDPE is a material that is going to stand up to:
The duct can bend without breaking, thereby making installation in hilly or trenchless areas easier.
HDPE ducts are lighter than concrete, PVC or metal ones and hence easier to transport, handle and install.
