PE Cable Conduit Pipes
Polyethylene Conduit in Cable Infrastructure Protection
Power distribution and telecom networks need buried routes protected from moisture, corrosive soil and mechanical stress. Polyethylene cable protection pipe (Product P010) comes in three constructions: solid wall, single-wall corrugated and double-wall corrugated (double-wall cable pipe).
These non-conductive pipes form isolated raceways in urban and cross-country trenches, protecting power and telecom cables from mechanical damage, groundwater ingress and traffic loads.
Double-wall cable pipe and power cable duct
Double-wall cable pipe has a smooth inner wall for easy cable pulling and a corrugated outer wall to carry soil load, and is used for power and telecom cables under roads and paths. It replaces the telecom subduct in our range.
Power Cable Ducts (P010) range up to 200 mm for distribution and street-lighting cables and are supplied in coils or 6 m bars depending on diameter and construction.
Conduit Trenching, Bedding & Duct Couplers
Installing cable duct networks requires a uniformly graded, compacted trench bed to prevent sags that could obstruct cable transit. Coiled pipe, being continuous, reduces the number of intermediate joints.
Straight sections are joined, and lines repaired, with couplers made for each construction; the coupler type is agreed at quotation.
PE Cable Conduit Pipes — Frequently Asked Questions
What is double-wall cable pipe used for?
Double-wall cable pipe protects power and telecom cables on underground routes and under roads; the smooth inner wall eases cable pulling and the corrugated outer wall carries soil load.
Do you supply telecom subduct?
No. Instead of subduct we supply double-wall cable pipe for telecom cables; its sizes are in the cable duct specification table.
Are cable protection conduits electrically insulating?
Yes. Polyethylene possesses high dielectric strength, acting as a natural electrical insulator that prevents stray currents from discharging into surrounding soil.
