IDS PC (POLYMER CONCRETE)
ELECTRICAL CABLE PITS

Polymer Concrete is a versatile pit material proving
longevity in a range of different conditions. Polymer
provides a chemically resistant solution with excellent
thermal properties.
• Compressive strength higher than traditional concrete CONSTRUCTION CONSUMABLES
• Chemically resistant solution with excellent thermal
properties
• A major strength is zero water absorption
• No ingress of water is guaranteed in these systems.
• Heat resistancy is up to 70ºC
• No detrimental effects in extreme temperature conditions
• Can be cut using the appropriate cutting tools
• Will not conduct electricity

IDS HDPE (HIGH DENSITY POLYETHYLENE)
ELECTRICAL 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.
• Extremely lightweight, providing safe on site manual
handling solutions
• Easy to cut, it provides simple and safe solutions for
ducting access
• All pits are designed to be watertight (provided all other
or mechanical entries are sealed during installation)
• Excellent insulator, will not conduct electricity
