sales @ fusiongroup . com www . fusiongroup . com contractors largely preferring to use polyethene electric cable ducting when installing cables via horizontal directional drilling ( HDD ), Peak ’ s polyethene pipes are an ideal fit , as they are capable of withstanding harsh ground conditions while maintaining structural integrity .
Peak also offers an innovative cable protection solution for buried cables . ClearDuct™ excels in comparison to traditional butt fused polyethene ducting , with machined pipe ends enabling a calculated recess for bead seating and guaranteeing no protrusion of the bead into the internal bore of the duct . This removes the need for internal de-beading tools and results in high productivity for on-site welding , enabling the installation of four times more meterage of pipe per hour . With a guarantee to save on-site welding time , Peak offers a ‘ welding time calculator ’ for customers to calculate predicted time savings of ClearDuct™ compared to standard HDPE pipe .
