Power & Utilities
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While demand continues to grow, extreme weather events and outdated construction practices – like the preference for above ground infrastructure - present significant challenges to meaningful grid modernization. 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
- Hybrid Bundles offer potential for hybrid power and fiber deployments
- Cable-in-Conduit (CIC) enables one-step installations
And we have solutions that are compliant with 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 colors and stripes
-
Hybrid power and fiber, allowing for a variety of innovative applications for one installation cost
