Power is changing
While demand continues to grow, extreme weather events and outdated construction practices – like the preference for above ground infrastructure - present significant challenges to meaningful grid modernisation. Despite these challenges, we’ve got solutions that allow you to meet increasing demands – including via emerging renewable technologies – while keeping your infrastructure safe and future-proof, underground.
Applications
Dura-Line offers HDPE electrical conduit applications throughout the electric grid, including:
- Generation
- Transmission
- Distribution
- Commercial
- Industrial
- Residential
- Transportation
Multiple Formats
HDPE is a highly versatile conduit material that can be extruded in several formats according to the demands of your project:
- Sticks are ideal for open trench deployments
- Reels or Coils allow for long continuous runs
- Cable-in-Conduit (CIC) enables one-step installations
- Hybrid Bundles offer potential for hybrid power and fibre deployments
And we have solutions that are compliant with Canadian Standards Association: C22.2 No. 327-18, as well as relevant UL, ASTM, and NEMA standards.
Why Choose HDPE for Electrical?
Existing undergrounding practices are flawed – they’re often slow, expensive, and disruptive to the surrounding environment, and can leave infrastructure vulnerable to damage. HDPE offers a wide range of advantages over other conduit materials in installation, maintenance, and performance.
In addition to multiple formats, flexibility, and suitability for long continuous runs, HDPE electrical conduit offers:
- Impact resistance and durability, which means better long-term performance
- Low friction, which means more efficient cable installations
- Superior low temperature performance
- Straightforward coupling without adhesives
- Identifiable colours and stripes
- Hybrid power and fibre, allowing for a variety of innovative applications for one installation cost
