MULTIduct™
MULTIduct™ is an innovative, lightweight and structural multiple duct cable protection system offering a modern alternative to traditional cable ducting systems.
Product Overview
MULTIduct™ has been designed to offer seamless integration with Cubis’ range of pit access products such as STAKKAbox™ ULTIMA Connect, enabling enhanced cable management and access. MULTIduct™ can be integrated into the STAKKAbox™ access pit on-site, or alternatively spigots can be pre-assembled and delivered as a single unit. If the exact duct entry positions are unknown at the time of order a flexible sliding backfill barrier can be fitted. This barrier allows for up to 150mm vertical alteration enabling the MULTIduct™ entry position to be customised on-site.
Features & Benefits
High Crush Strength
Requiring shallower burial depths and with greater crush resistance than conventional methods, MULTIduct™ does not require any concrete or specialist surround due to its high strength and robust nature. Excavated material can be reused during re-installation reducing time, cost and heavy plant.
Lightweight
Weighing under 20kg MULTIduct™ offers significant health and safety advantages. MULTIduct™ is suitable for a single person lift and install, enabling compliance with manual handling regulations. Being lightweight and easy to deploy results in considerable project time and cost savings.
Quick Assembly with Secure One Click Connection System
MULTIduct™ offers a unique ‘push fit system’ that is fast and easy to install. During cable pulling, the unique push-fit connection eliminates any disengagement of the units once installed.
Buried Cable Routes
In conjunction with Cubis’ STAKKAbox™ access chamber systems, MULTIduct™ can offer a more secure ducting system than surface routes. This can prevent issues with theft and vandalism to cables.
Durable
Less susceptible to drop related damages, MULTIduct™ offers a durable and lightweight unit that can be easily transported and moved on site. MULTIduct™ units also incorporate large radius corners to stop rodents biting through the duct unit to gain access to cabling.
Lays Straighter and Flatter with added Flexibility
MULTIduct™ allows for 2° of flexibility within its connection. This results in the creation of a natural bend that can follow the curvature of a track, road or tunnel installation. The straight lay flat feature removes the need for spaces and eliminates any twisting issues during the installation unlike traditional ducting systems.
Multiple Ducts Combined into One Part
MULTIduct™ combines multiple cable ducts that would traditionally be separated. This results in the need for a reduced excavation resulting in narrower, shallower trenches, no graded backfill between ducts and reduced time, during installation.
Square Duct Space
Unique smooth internal walls for easier cable pulling and no sharp edges for cable damage. Less surface contact with cables makes it easier to pull / blow during cable installation. The shape of the MULTIduct™ units increase capacity over traditional cable ducts.
How Cable Protection can be utilised to offer greater sustainable solutions to your project
The use of modern materials to manufacture recyclable, lightweight, adjustable and space-saving products such as PROtrough and MULTIduct™ offers greater sustainable solutions for the protection of cables across a wide range of sectors and environments. Minimising the need for heavy lifting equipment during installation and maximizing shipping capacity with the aim to reducing the number of vehicles, offers a way to avoid excess carbon emissions. This is also enhanced with the range of benefits our products provide such as the reduced excavation and need for imported materials when installing MULTIduct™ due to its structural properties that allow for shallower burial depth and as dug material for backfill.
Achieving up to 100% recycled PP and 80-100% recycled HDPE within our products also limits the use of virgin materials throughout our manufacturing processes. Our goal is to create a closed loop recycling system whereby our products are recycled or reused in new products.
As a business we are dedicated to working responsibly, and our drive to manufacture and deliver sustainable products and solutions to our customers is at the forefront of our business. Our product range has been externally verified by The International EPD® System to provide an Environmental Product Declaration (EDP) that summaries the environment impact of the product throughout their Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
