PVC Type EB-35 Conduit – 250 mm (10″)

Heavy Concrete Encasement for Underground Utility & Power Infrastructure in KSA & GCC

The development of infrastructure in Saudi Arabia along with the entire Gulf region has made it necessary to have underground utility protection systems that are capable of tolerating extreme loads, aggressive soil conditions, heavy traffic, and long-term operational stress. The need for structurally reinforced conduit solutions has become critical as urban expansion, mega projects, industrial zones, airports, metros, data centers, and smart cities continue to rise and develop. The PVC Type EB-35 Conduit – 250 mm (10″) | Heavy Concrete Encasement is specifically designed for such demanding environments and offers mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and durability that last for decades when used in concrete systems that are reinforced with steel.

The heavy-duty conduit is made specifically for the high capacity cable routing, the duct bank installations, and the underground networks that are critical for the mission where the failure is not an option. It is engineered to bear heavy static and dynamic loads without any hindrances. Thus, the EB-35 conduits are specified for projects in the developed public infrastructure, utility areas, transportation, and industrial facilities throughout Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Additionally, the very large internal diameter of the 250 mm EB-35 conduit together with its thickened walls is a guarantee for maximum protection not only for power but also for telecom, fiber optic, and control cables while at the same time supporting the future-ready installations.

PVC Type EB-35 Conduit – 250 mm (10″) | Heavy Concrete Encasement is a rigid, high-strength PVC conduit system specifically manufactured for use in concrete-encased underground applications. The EB-35 classification represents enhanced crush resistance and stiffness, making it suitable for environments exposed to heavy vehicular loads, deep burial depths, and structural stress from concrete encasement.

Unlike standard conduits, EB-35 conduits are designed to integrate seamlessly with reinforced concrete duct banks, providing a stable pathway that prevents deformation, cracking, or collapse during concrete pouring and curing. The 250 mm diameter allows for high cable density, large power circuits, or grouped telecom and fiber bundles, making it ideal for primary infrastructure routes.

Key Features of PVC Type EB-35 Conduit – 250 mm

The main reason this conduit is much better than others is due to the engineering and material used. The pipe is made from high-quality PVC that is very strong yet at the same time flexible enough during installation.

Among its characteristics are the ability to withstand high impacts, excellent carrying capacity, a smooth internal cavity that reduces the friction of the cable, chemical resistance that is top-notch, non-conductive qualities, and an extended lifespan. The conduit is able to hold its dimensions even when concrete pressure is applied, thus assuring the right positioning and the durability of the duct bank system.

Why Heavy Concrete Encasement Matters

Concrete encasement is a critical requirement for underground utility protection in high-load environments. When combined with EB-35 conduits, concrete encasement creates a reinforced duct bank system that distributes loads evenly and shields cables from external damage.

In highways, airports, ports, industrial plants, and urban corridors, heavy concrete encasement protects conduits from vehicular loads, ground movement, and accidental excavation. EB-35 conduits are specifically designed to retain shape during concrete pouring, ensuring consistent internal pathways even after decades of service.

Applications in Saudi Arabia & Gulf Region

PVC Type EB-35 Conduit – 250 mm has gained extensive popularity in the infrastructure industry of KSA, UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain. The main use of it is in the installation of cables, utility duct banks, telecoms, and so on as well as in metro rail, airports, oil and gas, desalination plant, industrial zone, and smart city developments.

The large diameter means that not only would high-voltage power cables be supported but also multiple telecom lines, and future expansion would be done without excavating the ground again. Government projects usually demand EB-35 conduits to be used as they meet the safety and durability requirements.

Installation Method

Proper installation is essential to maximize performance and service life. The installation process begins with site assessment and duct bank layout planning. Trenches are excavated to the required depth and width, ensuring stable bedding conditions.

Conduit sections are laid in alignment using spacers to maintain separation and uniform concrete coverage. Jointing is carried out using solvent cement or approved couplers to ensure watertight connections. Once alignment is verified, concrete is poured carefully to avoid displacement. After curing, the duct bank forms a rigid protective structure capable of supporting extreme loads.

Cable Pulling & Operational Efficiency

The EB-35 conduits' internal surface is smooth, which is a factor that greatly helps to reduce the friction during the pulling of cables, and consequently to the installation time, and the less damage caused to the cables. The 250 mm diameter, which is quite large, enables the working with heavy power cables and fiber bundles to be quite simple.

This means that the work will take less time and the labor cost will be less as the project will be completed faster and the site will be safer. Regular maintenance and future upgrades will be an easy task because of the internal geometry that remains the same.

Advantages Over Conventional Conduits

EB-35 conduits give up to ten times the structural strength and compatibility with concrete encasement as well as the same lifespan compared to ordinary PVC and HDPE conduits. They will not buckle under heavy weight, will not shift from their intended position and will also provide extra protection in important infrastructure areas.

Their non-corroding property has the advantage of getting rid of the problems usually experienced with metal conduits, while the sturdy structure guarantees stability in performance for many years to come.

Compliance & Standards

The PVC Type EB-35 Conduit – 250 mm is produced according to the recognized international and regional standards which are commonly referred to in the Gulf infrastructure projects. These standards involve utility authority specifications, municipal standards, and EPC requirements for specific projects.

The compliance guarantees that the product is accepted in the government, industrial, and commercial sectors.

Lifecycle Value & Cost Efficiency

While EB-35 conduits may have a higher initial cost compared to light-duty alternatives, their lifecycle value is significantly greater. Reduced maintenance, extended service life, and minimized risk of failure translate into long-term cost savings.

For large-scale projects, this reliability is critical for meeting operational and safety objectives.

Environmental & Safety Benefits

PVC EB-35 conduits are environmentally stable, non-toxic, and recyclable. Their fire-resistant and non-conductive properties enhance safety in underground installations. Concrete encasement further improves fire protection and mechanical shielding.
