Ducting HDPE duct is available in solid wall, twin wall smooth bore and single wall corrugated profiles. The lightweight, flexible duct copes with trench undulations and high impact resistance minimises special preparation of beds and eliminates the need for special surrounds in most instances.
The duct has push fit joints for ease of installation and HDPE flexibility minimises the need for special bends. Duct is colour coded to end user requirements and can be printed to individual requirements.
Access chambers HDPE chamber sections are manufactured in one piece for high strength and rigidity. Identical sections can be stacked to obtain the required height.
A wide range of chamber sections are available, all of which have preformed pre-panned rings that take up to 160mm ducting. Hole sizes are designed to provide a ‘snug fit’ but to allow for variations in duct entry angle.
The lightweight sections are surrounded by in-situ concrete and offer substantial savings over traditional chambers.
Composite covers High impact composite covers are available to complement the most popular access chamber sizes.
The covers are supplied with galvanised steel frames. The standard colour is black, with a non-slip surface.
As standard, Keyline stock covers and frames badged ‘Traffic Signal’ or ‘Street Lighting’ which come with a locking facility included.

Ease of cable placement, with low friction inner surface bespoke long radii bends to meet the requirements of the latest generation cables. This reduces whole system costs as longer cabling distances can be achieved, resulting in reduction in expensive joints. Internal chamfer on all spigot ends of ducts ensures no damage during cable placement, which in turn improves cable lifespan
Enhanced cable performance through efficient heat dissipation offered by PVC-U duct systems, due to the high compression to wall thickness ratio, compared with alternate systems
Comprehensive product range, covering all possible cable requirements and construction techniques
Systems are re-useable when cables are replaced or repaired, therefore maximising asset life and reducing further disruptions to the roadways and footways.

Black PE Electric Cable DuctDescription (mm) Duct Length (m) SDR
PE itself is light and flexible but maintains its durability. With a comprehensive size range up to 250mm, the main advantage of this duct over PVC is the secure jointing methods. There are two types of jointing methods:
Quicker installation More cost effective solutions
Easier installation
Butt-fused Electrofusion.
These methods allow the duct to be jointed securely in a continuous length which can allow new installation methods to be used including moleploughing, direction drilling or no dig (shallow depth).

Precast Cable Trough Ducting Systems
We offer a specialist range of precast reinforced concrete cable troughs and ducting systems used to house and protect most types of services, including power and communication cables and pipes for gas, water and chemicals. Access troughs and ducts can be buried underground, located above, or flush with surface levels to provide protection against accidental or malicious damage and to offer easy access for maintenance and repair. Three types of flush fitting lids are supplied in either reinforced precast concrete, GRP composite, or steel tray. All are designed and tested for loading group class to BS EN 124.
Typical duct applications include; rail and highway infrastructure; power stations; gas, oil and chemical installations; industrial, commercial and domestic developments; docks and harbours; water and sewage treatment plants.
Design features The troughs, ducts and lids are designed and tested for load classes A15, B125, C250 and D400. For loadings E600 and F900, duct systems are designed, tested and manufactured specific to order.
Benefits
Compared with the alternatives of direct burying of cables and pipes or overhead suspension, concrete trough has a number of advantages:-
Applicable to power and telecom cables in addition to pipes for liquids and gases
Chemically resistant concrete
Services buried at depth are unexposed to weather changes (i.e. freezing or overheating)
High strength load bearing units
Easy access for cable repair, jointing or new cable additions
Whole life costing of precast concrete is lower than other forms of ducting construction
Non conductive to electricity
We can supply specialist units moulded to your requirements.

Notes 1. The details shown are for guidance only and
should be suitably reviewed with regard to actual ground conditions and applied loading.
2. A Class 1 mortar bed (min 25mm thickness) may be provided between trough and concrete / stone bedding to aid alignment.
3. Where troughs are laid to provide a sealed unit or where the haunching serves to retain water, the formation of a sump may be necessary.
4. Where units are to be sealed a proprietory sealant may be used e.g. polyurethane sealant.
5. Transitions in horizontal and vertical alignment can be achieved by Tee and Angled units. Various sizes and configurations are available. When using cast in-situ infill sections, it is advised that the structural integrity of the units be checked, especially in trafficked areas.
6. In trafficked locations, to minimise the risk of movement, lids should be seated on a minimum thickness of 2mm rubber bearing strip to reduce noise and vibration effects.
7. Parallel lengths of troughs should not be installed immediately adjacent to each other. However, subject to actual loading conditions, this may be acceptable.
8. Where lids are subject to frequent slewing by commercial vehicles the lids may require fixing in position with an epoxy mortar.
Installation procedure 1. Prepare formation to required level and lay
granular / concrete base.
2. Position trough to required line and level.
3. Position adjacent trough and where required apply polyurethane sealant between units.
4. Place stone / concrete haunching to sides of trough as installation proceeds.
5. Continue installation procedure to form required length of ducting.
6. Carefully place suitable backfill material around trough to re-form required finished levels.
7. Install adjacent construction.
8. Install services into ducting.

HDPE and GRP Troughing
Although developed for use alongside rail tracks, GRP & HDPE troughs can be used for many different applications such as power stations.
Keyline’s range of troughing offers a modern alternative to concrete which has been the standard method of construction in the power/water industry for many years. The range is manufactured from lightweight plastic materials but stands up to the requirements of being installed in trackside environments.
The benefits of plastic cable trough:
Lightweight – all parts are less than 25kg. This has a significant impact on installation times
Can be securely locked to help prevent cable theft
Easy to adapt during installation with basic hand tools
Reduced transportation required
Massive reduction on number of broken units.
The benefits of plastic cable trough:
Manufactured from High Density Polyethylene
Each unit weighs under 15kg
1m long lengths connect using unique ‘twist and lock’ mechanism
Covers lock and hinge on either side
Can be securely locked to prevent unauthorised access
Internal: 236mm (w) x 200mm (d) x 1000mm (l).
The benefits of plastic cable trough:
Manufactured from Glass Reinforced Polyester Resin
