Concrete Encased Electrical Conduit for Underground Installations in KSA & Gulf
The use of underground electrical infrastructure in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region has to cope with not only extreme temperatures but also heavy construction loads, alkaline concrete, and a very long life expectancy. The PVC Type EB-20 Conduit – 63 mm (2″) | Concrete Encased is the one that is made precisely to the above requirements and is providing thus a safe, durable, and inexpensive solution for the routing of the insulated wiring in the modern buildings’ projects.
This conduit is suitable for installations in concrete and it gives the wires complete protection, insulation, and reliability for many years to come only for the low- and medium-voltage cables. The diameter of 63 mm allows it to be used in places where large bundles of cables, main distribution lines, and utility corridors that need to be enlarged in the future and their reliability are the main criteria.
The performance of EB-20 conduits is consistent and the conformance with Gulf standards and longevity are the factors that have made them the selection for infrastructure projects over the entire KSA, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Their application areas are very wide including residential, commercial, industrial, and municipal developments.
The PVC Type EB-20 Conduit – 63 mm (2″) is a rigid PVC electrical conduit designed exclusively for concrete encasement. The EB-20 classification represents a medium-duty conduit, optimized to protect electrical cables once embedded in concrete structures such as slabs, foundations, and duct banks.
Manufactured using high-grade, impact-resistant PVC, the conduit offers:
Excellent mechanical strength when encased in concrete
Non-conductive electrical insulation for enhanced safety
Complete resistance to corrosion and chemical attack
Smooth internal bore for effortless cable pulling
Its design ensures long-term protection of electrical networks, even in harsh soil conditions and high-temperature environments common across the Gulf region.

EB-20 conduit embedded in concrete offers full protection to cables against impact, compression, vibration, and construction loads.
PVC is a non-conductor material that helps to eliminate the risks of grounding and hence, the overall electrical safety is improved.
EB-20 PVC, unlike metallic conduits, does not undergo oxidation or loss of quality even in alkaline concrete or saline soil.
Easy cable pulling is facilitated by the smooth bore, which in turn, lessens the labor time and avoids insulation damage.
Manufactured to work under extreme temperatures that are common in Saudi Arabia and the GCC countries reliably.
It is transporting, cutting, and installing that are easy and this leads to reducing the overall project cost.
The product is made for decades of maintenance-free use, thus it eliminates the need for replacement and downtime.
Conduit routing is marked according to approved electrical drawings.
The slab or trench is prepared to ensure proper alignment and spacing.
EB-20 conduits are laid securely before concreting.
PVC couplers and solvent cement are used to create tight, leak-proof joints.
Concrete is poured to fully encase the conduit, ensuring structural protection.
After curing, cables are pulled smoothly through the conduit.
