Why Use Ducting?

When laying pipes or cables underground, using ducting is crucial for both protection and identification purposes:

• Protection: Ducting safeguards cables and pipes from potential damage caused by ground settlement, excavation work, or external factors.
• Identification: By using ducting, you provide a clear indication of the presence of cables or pipes underground, making it easier for future contractors and property owners to identify and avoid them.

Coiled vs Rigid Ducting

Choosing between coiled and rigid ducting depends on the specific requirements of your project.

• Coiled Ducting: Our coiled flexi ducts, available in a wide range of different colours coded for a variety of applications, are ideal for longer runs due to their ease of installation. We recommend using this ducting for runs that have lots of turns.
• Rigid Ducting: Rigid ducting, such as our rigid twin wall ducts or PVC BT duct, is generally used for shorter distances or when extra strength is required. This ducting is best used for straight runs.

Ducting Colour Options

We offer a wide variety of colour-coded ducting systems to simplify identification:

• Black: Electric Cable Ducting
• Blue: Water Ducting
• Yellow: Gas Ducting
• Orange: Lighting & Signal Ducting
• Purple: Motorway Communications Ducting
• Green: Cable & Fibre Optics Ducting

We also supply specialised grey telecoms & BT ducting systems for cable TV, high voltage electrics, and street lighting.
