TrenchSafe Plastic Duct Bank Spacers
TrenchSafe custom-fabricated plastic duct bank spacers help streamline underground conduit installations from start to finish. Built for the demands of construction, utility, and electrical contracting, these spacers ensure cables stay neatly separated, installations are faster, and engineering requirements are met without compromise.
Benefits
By holding conduits firmly at precise intervals, custom plastic spacers offer numerous advantages for underground cable installations. They improve on-site safety and reliability while also saving time and costs.
- Improved Cable Management: Spacers ensure conduits and cables are properly spaced apart, reducing the risk of damage from electrical interference or physical stress. By preventing crowding or contact between cables, they deliver a cleaner, more organized conduit layout that makes maintenance easier and extends cable lifespan
- Fast Installation: Made from lightweight plastics, our spacers are easy to handle and significantly reduce installation time
- Affordable: In addition to performance benefits, plastic duct bank spacers are a cost- efficient choice. They are often more affordable than metal spacer systems, and their lighter weight and easier assembly translate to lower labor costs on the job. Crews can even pre-assemble conduit sections above ground and drop them in place, minimizing time working in trenches for improved safety and efficiency. The result is faster, safer installs with less labor required on site
- High Strength and Durability: Constructed from high-density, high-strength plastic, our spacers won’t corrode or rust like metal alternative. They withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, and heavy loads without warping or cracking, remaining virtually unbreakable even in harsh underground conditions. This durability means a longer service life and low maintenance for your installations
- Custom Engineered to Meet Your Specific Needs: Every spacer is custom fabricated to meet your project’s exact specifications, ensuring compliance with engineered plans and industry standards. You get spacers that fit your conduit sizes and layout perfectly – no field modifications needed – which leads to a smoother inspection and approval process.
Applications
TrenchSafe duct bank spacers serve a wide range of projects in the electrical, construction, and utility sectors. Wherever multiple conduits must be securely separated and encased underground – from urban infrastructure to commercial developments – these spacers provide the reliability and ease-of-use that professionals depend on.
- Construction Projects: For commercial, industrial, and institutional construction projects, duct bank spacers support organized conduit layouts beneath building sites and campuses. They hold conduits steady even in challenging environments (like under highways or airports), withstanding high loads and rough installation conditions. This ensures that electrical and data lines in new constructions are installed safely and remain protected during concrete pouring and backfilling
- Utility and Power Infrastructure: In municipal utilities and power distribution networks, spacers keep critical electrical conduits safely separated to prevent interference or heat buildup. Proper spacing reduces the risk of cable damage and outages, playing a vital role in building resilient, code compliant power grids and utility installations. Utility engineers trust these spacers to maintain consistent separation under roadways, substation yards, and other infrastructure
- Electrical Contracting: Electrical contractors use custom spacers to streamline installations and reduce labor overhead on the job. By prefabricating duct bank sections with spacers, crews spend far fewer hours working in open trenches – a major safety and efficiency boost – and some projects have seen up to a 60% reduction in labor time through this approach
ePlastics Unique Technical Capabilities
As a full-service plastics distributor, we combine quality materials with expert fabrication to deliver spacers tailored to your needs. Our technical capabilities ensure you get a product that exactly matches your project requirements and arrives on site ready to perform. Here’s what we offer:
- Custom Sizing and Configuration: We manufacture spacers precisely to your design. Any conduit size, tiered layout, or separation pattern can be achieved. Virtually any configuration is possible, and each spacer is easily fabricated to meet the exact specifications of your project. Whether you need a unique hole layout for an unusual conduit arrangement or standard spacers for a large duct bank, we can produce the right solution
- High-Quality Materials: Our duct bank spacers are fabricated from premium industrial-grade plastics (such as HDPE, PVC, and Polypropylene) chosen for their high strength-to-weight ratio and durability. These materials are non-conductive and will not corrode or degrade over time, even when buried in concrete or soil. The result is a lightweight yet robust spacer that maintains its structural integrity in any environment
- Precision Fabrication: Using advanced CNC routing and cutting technology, we produce spacers with exact dimensions and smooth edges for easy handling. Each spacer is engineered for durability and consistency, ensuring it will fit your conduits perfectly and hold up to rigorous use. Our fabrication process emphasizes quality control at every step, so you receive spacers that meet all required tolerances and standards
- Fast Turnaround: We understand project timelines are critical. Thanks to our in-house manufacturing and large distribution network, we offer quick turnaround on custom orders
