Material Composition & Manufacturing

1. Raw Material (PP/HDPE)

The Plastic Spacer 110 mm 2-Way Base comes with the durability of either polypropylene (PP) or high-density polyethylene (HDPE) depending on the manufacturer’s choice. Manufacturers prefer using PP for its good rigidity, dimensional stability, and resistance to chemicals. Conversely, HDPE is mainly used where high impact resistance is a must.

2. Additives

The mixture of polymers consists of UV stabilizers, heat stabilizers, anti-oxidants, mineral fillers (optional), and color masterbatch pigments--impact modifiers that help the product have a long life in the Middle East. These additives make certain that the spacer will not only be stable in the middle of the desert but also withstand the extreme conditions of sun exposure, sandstorms, or outdoor storage for a long time.

3. Production Process

  • The precision and repeatability of the process are guaranteed through injection moulding.
  • Cooling, trimming and finishing operations are done to ensure smooth edges.
  • Reinforced ribs add strength especially for load-bearing applications.
  • Dimensional QC (Quality Control) guarantees perfect duct fit.
  • Each batch undergoes both visual inspection and mechanical testing.

How the Plastic Spacer 110 mm 2-Way Base Is Used

Below is the step-by-step process used across major Gulf infrastructure projects.

1. Trench Preparation

  • Ensure the trench floor is level

  • Add bedding sand (typically 50–100 mm)

  • Remove sharp debris or rocks

2. Placement of Base Spacers

  • Place Plastic Spacer 110 mm 2-Way Base directly onto the prepared bedding

  • Align spacers in straight line using string or laser guidance

  • Maintain 0.8 m to 1.2 m spacing (engineer’s specification)

3. Laying Ducts

  • Place both 110 mm ducts into the dual channels

  • Ensure ducts sit firmly and evenly

  • Check alignment using laser or straight edge for long runs

4. Installing Higher Layers (if required)

If building a multi-layer duct bank, install:

  • Intermediate spacers

  • Top spacers

These lock into the 2-way base for vertical stacking.

5. Securing & Encasement

  • Backfill carefully or pour concrete

  • Ensure ducts do not shift during compaction

  • Maintain cover and spacing as per approved drawings

6. Final Inspection

Check:

  • Alignment

  • Levels

  • Spacer integrity

  • Correct spacing intervals

This ensures long-term performance without duct collapse or uneven settlement.

Applications in KSA & GCC

The 110 mm plastic spacer 2-way base is used for many different purposes throughout the area:

1. Telecom Networks

  • Main ducts for optical fibers
  • Trunking in data centers
  • 5G cellular backhaul construction

2. Electrical Power Systems

  • Medium voltage - low voltage feeder ducting
  • Circuits for street lighting
  • Conduits for underground substations

3. Oil, Gas & Petrochemical Facilities

  • Piping for samplings
  • Ducts for SCADA wiring
  • Protection for cables in hazardous areas

4. Mega Infrastructure Projects

  • Networks of metro and rail
  • Airports and ports
  • Underground utilities in smart cities

5. Industrial Utilities

  • Cables for process control
  • Systems for underground monitoring
  • The product's two-way base design indeed shortens the time for installation and at the same time sets the distance between ducts, which is very important for the simultaneous pulling of cables and the clearance of heat.

Advantages of the Plastic Spacer 110 mm 2-Way Base

1. Supports Two 110 mm Ducts at Once

This improves installation speed by 50% compared to using two individual 1-way spacers.

2. High Structural Strength

The reinforced rib patterns distribute loads and resist deformation under heavy soil pressure or concrete encasement.

3. UV-Stabilized for Middle East Climate

Resists hard sunlight during long project staging periods.

4. Corrosion-Free and Non-Conductive

Ideal for electrical and telecom duct banks.

5. Highly Cost-Effective

Reduces labour, improves alignment, and minimizes rework.

6. Perfect Alignment for Cable Pulling

Straight, parallel conduits reduce friction and cable damage risks.

7. Lightweight & Easy to Handle

Faster installation with minimal manpower requirements.

Why It Is Critical for KSA & Gulf Projects

The Gulf region is experiencing distinct issues:

  • Very high temperatures (more than 55°C on soil level)
  • Severe soil expansions in desert areas
  • Soil salinization near coastal sites
  • Excessive traffic in cities
  • Giant construction projects

Considering all the above-mentioned problems, the Plastic Spacer 110 mm 2-Way Base was manufactured, thus confirming:

  • No corrosion
  • No alteration in form
  • No misplacing
  • Long lasting trustworthiness
  • That’s why, it is the first choice for EPC contractors.

Installation Guidelines for Best Performance

Intervals of Spacing

  • The recommended spacing is 1 meter
  • Heavy-load zones are for 0.6–0.75 meters

Handling Recommendations

  • Dropping spacers is not allowed, and cracking should be avoided
  • If non-UV grade, then store in the shade
  • Prevent dust accumulation by stacking pallets above ground
  • Traceability of the batch should always be maintained
  • Concrete Encasing Particulars
  • Minimum thickness must be covered
  • Floating of duct is not allowed—attach it where necessary
  • Ducts should not be heated during curing process

Troubleshooting Guide

1. Duct rocking inside channel

Cause: Incorrect OD or tolerance mismatch
Fix: Use correct 110 mm spacer; select tighter tolerance model

2. Cracks at base

Cause: Rough handling or manufacturing defect
Fix: Replace unit; ensure proper pallet unloading

3. Misalignment during backfilling

Cause: Spacers placed too far apart
Fix: Reduce spacing distance and secure ducts

Best Industry Practices for Installing 110mm 2-Way Base Spacers

  • Level and compact the trench bedding before the base spacers are placed.
  • Both conduits must be completely seated into the spacer grooves.
  • Verify alignment along the length of the trench before intermediate layers are applied.
  • Use approved HDPE or PVC conduits that are rated for 110mm.
  • Inspect prior to backfilling or before encasing with concrete.

Correct installation will minimize:
✔ Misalignment of conduits
✔ Cable friction, and abrasion
✔ Structural deformation
✔ Maintenance issues with telecommunications and utilities.
