Applications

PVC Type EB-35 Conduit – 315 mm is ideal for:

  • High-voltage power transmission corridors

  • Telecommunications backbone networks

  • Industrial and petrochemical facilities

  • Metro and railway duct banks

  • Airports and airport utility corridors

  • Smart city infrastructure

  • Urban highway and road duct banks

  • Mega energy and desalination projects

Its large diameter allows multiple high-capacity cables in a single conduit, reducing project complexity and cost while ensuring reliability.

Installation & Usage

1. Site Assessment & Trench Design


To make sure that the whole thing stays stable and the conduit is properly bedded, evaluate the soil type, load conditions, trench depth, and width.

2. Excavation.


Digging of trenches according to the project specifications with stable sidewalls and safe working conditions will be done.

3. Bedding Preparation


The compacted sand or granular bedding will be prepared to support the conduit and to avoid point loads.

4. Laying Conduit Sections


The EB-35 conduits will be aligned with spacers to keep the separation uniform and to prevent shifting.

5. Jointing


Solvent cement or mechanical couplers will be used to make the joints watertight and secure.

6. Cable Pulling


Smooth bore allows for easy cable installation with very little friction.

7. Backfilling


Trenches will be backfilled in layers to ensure support and stability before concrete pouring.

8. Concrete Encasement


Encasement will share the load equally and will also keep the conduit protected from outside stress.

9. Warning Tape Installation


Warning tape will be placed over the conduit to mark it and to help avoid accidental excavation damage in the future.
