[INQ. NO. 2008E05] The COD is mostly used to protect optic cables or even low-voltage power cables. The spiral-shaped corrugation gives a higher resistance against pressure or impact (100% safe against earthquakes). Easy duct installation is possible with a working life of over 50~100 years (easy maintenance). The inner ducts (consisting in inner sub-ducts, from 2 to 9 inner sub-ducts) help to easily identify the cable types. Furthermore, having inner sub-ducts gives a higher protection when air blowing or pulling the cable through the duct (no cable-to-cable friction).
Flexible HDPE Conduit (FEP)
The FEP is mostly used for power cables or cables with wide diameter. The easy installation, flexibility, maintenance, resistance against pressure and impact make FEP very attractive when compared to HDPE or PVC pipes.
Iteco (Optiroad) is the foremost manufacturer of spiral-shaped corrugated pipes, conduits and ducts. The company was established in July 2000 and has been exporting its products worldwide since then.
Iteco (Optiroad) has successfully signed technical license agreements with partners in Japan, Taiwan, China, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and Bahrain. It has four venture factories in Saudi Arabia (2), South Africa (1), and Vietnam (1). It has recently got its products certified in Kazakhstan, the United Kingdom, and Australia.
Iteco (Optiroad) summarizes the special advantages of COD as follows:
• Longer : It is available in long continuous lengths of 500m, 600m,1000m,1500mduct in one(1) coil.
• Stronger : COD is much stronger than traditional duct. The compressive load of COD is in excess of 2,500N-3200N while the compressive load of the traditional duct is around 450N.
The strength of COD guarantees 100 % safety against earthquakes.
• Faster: In the UK, construction companies calculate that COD can be installed up to 20 ~ 30 times faster than
traditional duct.
• Cheaper: UK construction companies calculate an overall reduction of 60-70% in installation cost.
• Safer: Faster installation, lesser joints throughout the installation and shallower trenches provide a reduction in
health and safety risks of up to 60-89%.
