   Dura-Guard™

Dura-Guard™ Duct is designed as a technically superior and cost-effective solution for replacement of GI, RCC   PVC Pipes for Electrical Cable casing application.

Dura-Guard™ Duct is manufactured from rugged and virgin HDPE in double walled construction. This unique construction-while making it light weight, gives excellent mechanical properties like high ring stiffness, better impact strength and superior crush resistance. This smooth inner wall facilities easy insertion of cables.

Dura-Guard™ Duct has the ability to withstand heavy external loads when properly buried and back filled. Hence it is ideally suited for usage as Jacket / Casing duct in those environments where direct placement of electrical cables is not safe and easy.

Electrical Applications
The main application of Dura-Guard™ in Electrical Networks are:

A. Protective casing of street lighting cable – pole to pole application
Dura-Guard™ ducts help in designing an east-to-maintain street lighting network. Instead of burying the street lighting cable directly, it is installed inside the Dura-Guard™ duct. It offers the following advantages:

  • Easy laying of cable upon completion of civil work
  • Easy to maintain as cables are free to move inside the duct
  • Easy to upgrade/replace cables


  • B. Protective casing application of power cables in city distribution network – an excellent and cost effective alternative to GI, RCC, and PVC pipes in
  • Rail/Road crossing
  • Across rivers, culverts and disused canals


  • C. Along Bridges

  • For protective casing of street lighting cable
  • For protective casing of power cables


  • THE Dura-Guard™ Advantage
  • Much longer life as compared to GI, RCC and PVC pipes
  • Light weight and therefore easy to transport, handle and install
  • Good mechanical properties and ability to take heavy loads
  • Chemically inert therefore suitable for use in saline/ coastal areas
  • No sharp edges and therefore safe for cable installation
  • Flexible to take bends and curves around obstacles
  • Dura-Line, along with its global partners, offers the most extensive range of high quality products including ducts and accessories, Optic Fiber cables, joint closures, terminations, manholes and much more.
