iDS™ Polymer Concrete Electrical & Telecommunications Cable Pits

Polymer Concrete is a versatile pit material proving longevity in a range of different conditions. Once installed, Polymer Concrete is extremely robust with a compressive strength higher than traditional concrete. Polymer provides a chemically resistant solution with excellent thermal properties.

Typical Applications
Carparks
Pavements
Sports venues
Driveways

  • Industrial sites
  • Urban distribution
  • Airports
  • Polymer Concrete is a tried and tested material that is strong and robust; a key element for specification where needed.
  • Polymer Concrete is an inert product, it is not readily reactive with other elements and is resistant to chemical and organic matter attack.
  • A major strength of Polymer Concrete is zero water absorption. This means no ingress of water is guaranteed in these systems.
  • Polymer Concrete’s heat resistancy is high, up to 70ºC (resin HDT). Use in extreme temperature conditions has no detrimental effects to Polymer Concrete pits.
  • Polymer Concrete pits can be cut using the appropriate cutting tools including diamond core drills and or masonry drills or grinders (It is advisable to risk assess this operation to ensure staff are adequately trained ensuring adequate ventilation is available and safety equipment worn at all times).
  • Polymer Concrete  is an excellent insulator. This means it will not conduct electricity, and therefore, is an ideal material to specify in installations where problems may exist.

iDS™ HDPE Electrical & Telecommunications Cable Pits

High Density Polyethylene is a mouldable plastic which can be formed into almost any shape.

iDS™ pits utilise an established and trusted method to produce an effective, strong and durable pit with installation and operative solutions in mind.

In addition, HDPE pits are extremely lightweight, providing on site manual handling solutions for a Health and Safety conscious design which makes the iDS™ plastic pit range the right choice for Specifiers.

Typical Applications
Landscaped areas.
Sports fields.
Pavements.
Domestic environments.
Accidental trafficable locations.
Lighting pits.

  • HDPE material features high organism and chemical resistancy. The system design will have a greatly reduced risk of attack from chemical and biological elements.
  • HDPE is easy to cut, it provides simple and safe solutions for ducting access. (It is advisable to risk assess this operation to ensure staff are adequately trained, safety equipment is worn at all times and ensure adequate ventilation is available).
  • HDPE when moulded will not absorb water as all pits are designed to be watertight (provided all other or mechanical entries are sealed during installation).
  • HDPE  is an excellent insulator. This means it will not conduct electricity, and therefore, is an ideal material to specify in installations where problems may exist.
  • HDPE  is lightweight as markets require ever-increasing demands on efficiencies, this material offers the ability to be carried, stored and handled in much larger volumes, and should offer through specification a lower carbon footprint.
  • When moulded into technically structured units HDPE offers the specifier a unique opportunity to reduce cost through breakage and reduce the risk of Health and Safety issues which can arise from the use of much heavier systems.
