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 pit 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 It Works
MULTIduct™ units are quickly assembled by connecting metre-long sections with a unique push-fit system.
The MULTIduct™ system offers a wide range of accessories to deal with tight turns, elevations, adjustable height on site, natural curvature and other obstacles.
Applications
MULTIduct™ holds numerous global approvals and has been installed in various applications and environments across the world.
- Under track crossings
- Under road crossings
- Buried cable routes
- Tunnels
- Multi-bank
- Bridge crossing
Seamless Integration
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.
Materials

Options & Accessories
MULTIduct™ can be supplied with the following accessories
Duct Adaptor & Degree Angles
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.
When greater bends are required Cubis has designed mitres to assist in any curvature needed. Single way duct adaptors can also be used to offer a seamless integration between traditional ducting and the MULTIduct™ unit.
Sockets & Spigots
Sockets & Spigots are used to join male to male (spigot to spigot) and female to female (spigot to spigot) lengths of MULTIduct™.
Socket & Spigot End Caps
Socket and spigot end caps are used to terminate both male and female duct entry points and can be pre-fitted for simpler construction.
