Key Features and Benefits

1. Heavy Mechanical Protection

The outlook of the product is its capacity to bear combo of high soil load, traffic load, and structural stress plus tons of weight when buried in concrete.

2. Large Cable Capacity

The size of 225 mm diameter is a good option for large power cables, fiber optics, and a control system installed in one duct.

3. Electrical Safety

Grounding risks and electrical hazards are eliminated by the use of non-conductive PVC.

4. Corrosion & Moisture Resistance

A perfect selection for saline soils, coastal areas, and chemically aggressive environments, such as those found in the Gulf.

5. Smooth Internal Bore

The smooth internal bore diminishes friction, thus causing less cable damage and faster installation.

6. Extreme Climate Performance

Keeps the structure sound when subjected to very high temperatures and desert-like conditions.

Applications

  • Utility duct banks

  • High-voltage and low-voltage power distribution

  • Substations and transformer yards

  • Airports, metros, and rail projects

  • Oil & gas and petrochemical facilities

  • Data centers and industrial zones

  • Municipal and smart city infrastructure

  • Commercial and industrial foundations

  • Deep burial and heavy concrete encasement are the intended applications for this product.
  • The product portrays dependability in very high temperatures and saline environments.
  • The product is entirely in accordance with Saudi & GCC regulations.
  • The long service life of the product means that it is less costly to maintain over its lifetime.
  • The product has gained the favor of consultants, EPC contractors, and utility companies.

Installation Method (Concrete Encasement)

  1. Route Planning & Marking – Adhere to sanctioned drawings and calculations of load
  2. Excavation & Bedding – Dig trench with correct positioning
  3. Conduit Laying – Place EB-35 conduits with the help of spacers
  4. Jointing – Apply solvent weld or mechanical coupling
  5. Concrete Pouring – Protect cable structurally by burying it completely in the concrete
  6. Curing & Cable Pulling – Once the curing is done, pull cables in a gentle manner.

Compatible Fittings & Accessories

  • Heavy-duty PVC couplers

  • Long-radius bends (45° / 90°)

  • Spacers for duct banks

  • Inspection chambers

  • Solvent cement and sealing compounds
