Segmented HDPE Ducting. Built Around Your Requirements.

Choose segmented construction to suit how you transport, handle and install your ventilation ducting. Polyline fabricates flat-pack HDPE segments that bolt together on site, with circular configurations from 1400 mm diameter upwards, low-profile oval sections and segmented bends. Custom configurations for positive and negative pressure applications.

Configurations

Your ducting. Your preferred configuration.

Segmented construction is an option wherever its transport, handling and installation benefits suit your project. Whether you need 1400 mm ducting or a larger configuration, components travel flat-packed and bolt together on site.

Reduce transport costs

Flat-packed segments reduce shipping space compared with transporting fully assembled ducts, helping lower freight costs and simplify delivery planning.

Make handling more manageable

Individual segments weigh less than complete duct sections, supporting safer, more convenient handling during installation and relocation.

Flat-packed for delivery. Bolted together on site.

Duct components travel flat-packed and are bolted together during installation. This reduces transport space and keeps individual components more manageable than complete duct sections. Segmented construction can be selected to suit your handling preferences, site access and installation approach—not just the finished duct diameter.

Segmented ducting, shaped around your requirements

Choose segmented construction to suit your preferred installation method and site requirements. Circular ducting is available from 1400 mm diameter upwards, alongside custom low-profile oval sections and segmented bends for positive or negative pressure applications. Straight sections are available in 1 m, 2 m and 3 m lengths, with telescopic adjustable options. Material thickness and connections are selected for the application.

Segmented Configuration

Segmented ducting to suit your pressure, route and available space.

Choose positive or negative pressure ducting, with segmented bends and low-profile oval sections to complete your layout. Fabricated from HDPE sheet, each configuration can be tailored to your ventilation requirements, connections and installation space.

Negative Pressure Segmented Ducting

Reinforced for negative pressure applications.

  • External strengthening ribs help maintain the designed cross-section under negative pressure.
  • Dimensions, material thickness and reinforcement are selected to suit the ventilation duty.
  • Nested segments reduce transport space, and the lower individual weight makes handling more manageable.
  • Bolted construction allows the ducting to be dismantled, relocated and reused.

Available in 1 m, 2 m and 3 m lengths, with telescopic adjustable options.

Positive Pressure Segmented Ducting

Compact to transport. Convenient to handle. Built to your requirements.

  • Customisable HDPE ducting for positive pressure applications.
  • Segments nest together for compact transport and bolt together on site.
  • Reduces freight space compared with assembled ducts, and keeps individual components lighter and easier to handle.
  • The bolted design allows sections to be dismantled, relocated and reused as your ventilation layout changes.

Available in 1 m, 2 m and 3 m lengths, with telescopic adjustable options.

Segmented Bends

Follow the route your installation requires.

  • Changes in direction while retaining the transport and assembly advantages of sectional construction.
  • Select the angle and bend radius to suit your duct route, available space and adjoining sections.

Available in 22.5°, 30°, 45°, 60° and 90°, with various bend-radius options for positive and negative pressure applications.

Efficient Transport

Three times more duct on every truck.

Segmented sections stack flat on pallets, so a standard trailer carries 90 linear metres of duct instead of 30. The comparison is for the same 1.57 m² cross-sectional area: Ø1.4 m duct at −1 kPa versus low-profile duct at −4 kPa.

  • One pallet: 1200 × 1200 × 3158 mm, 325 kg.
  • Segmented duct: 90 linear metres on a standard trailer (13,700 × 2,500 mm), 6,500 kg.
  • Rigid straight duct: 30 linear metres on the same trailer, 2,200 kg.

30 vs 90 linear metres per trailer.

Low-Profile Oval Ducting

Airflow where headroom is limited.

  • An option where round ducting will not fit the available clearance.
  • The flattened profile allows the duct to sit closer to the roof, preserving space for people, vehicles and equipment below.
  • Shape-supporting construction: Rigid HDPE segments and external ribs help maintain the designed cross-section.
  • Matching bends and fittings: Straight and curved sections can be configured around the route and available space.
  • Compact transport: Segments nest and stack on pallets for delivery.
  • Bolted, reusable design: Flanged joints allow sections to be dismantled, relocated and reassembled.

Plan the transport, connections and assembly.

Every configuration is fabricated to order. The more we know about the installation, the more accurately we can scope, connect and deliver it. Useful details to share:

Required diameter

The internal or external diameter your ventilation duty needs.

Total length

The overall run length, plus any staging or delivery constraints.

Layout drawing

A layout drawing or simple sketch showing the duct path.

Adjoining equipment

Fans, cones or plant the duct connects to, with their interface details.

Site access

Access and handling limits for delivery and on-site assembly.

Installation orientation

Whether the duct runs horizontally, vertically or on an incline.

Operating requirements

Airflow, pressure or environmental conditions the duct must meet.

Discuss your segmented ducting requirements.

Whether you need a 1400 mm duct run, a larger diameter, a low-profile section or a series of bends, send your layout or a simple sketch together with any known requirements. Polyline can review the configuration and prepare a project quote.
