Castioni plastic cable ducts are an easy-to-install alternative to concrete.
Castioni TERRAsystem high-quality plastic cable ducts made of polypropylene, which are, among other things, UV resistant and self-extinguishing, yet free from brominated flame retardants. The cable ducts are installed along railway lines and are used for cable routing.
Whether on railways, in airports or within energy networks, modern infrastructure is highly dependent on a reliable power supply and the transmission of information. In this context, it is essential that the large number of critical cables are effectively protected against external influences. The TERRAsystem is easy to install, extend and modify.
The TERRAsystem cable ducts can be installed quickly and easily by hand, thanks to their low weight and relatively short lengths. They simply click together without the need for tools, apart from a screwdriver if the covers are to be secured with screws.
The use of lightweight plastic offers several advantages, ranging from lower transport costs to easy installation on site without the need for transport or lifting equipment. Installation is straightforward with pre-punched holes for cable exits.
The plastic covers of the cable ducts can be secured with screws and are easy to reopen. This allows cables to be checked and inspected, and the TERRAsystem covers can be reinstalled. In addition, the system can easily be dismantled and relaid, making it an ideal solution for temporary installations. Overall, polypropylene cable ducts are a cost-effective alternative to traditional concrete cable ducts, due to shorter installation times, reduced labour costs and reduced track downtime, while the use of recyclable materials is an additional benefit at the end of the product’s service life.
TERRAsystem cable ducts are lightweight yet extremely strong, thanks to integrated ribs and reinforcements. The system offers strength comparable to traditional concrete ducts. The covers can withstand limited pedestrian traffic and can be opened and reclosed multiple times, allowing quick visual inspection of the cables.
Pre-punched cutting grooves allow the plastic cable ducts to be easily adapted to project-specific route requirements, such as curves, angles and T-junctions.
