Abstract
A device and method for the creation of a water proof component void form unit to create space between concrete structures and expansive soil for the passage of plumbing lines, electrical lines and other utility conduit lines is described. The unit includes a plurality of panels interlocked with one or more connectors. The panels are aligned opposite one another and are configured to abut one another to create a route. The panels are located in a trench and configured to define a void space underground for the passage of the utility conduit lines. A top cap overlays across the panels. Utility conduit lines are routed within the void space and adjusted according to needs. The unit is configured to resist soil expansive forces so as to protect the placement and integrity of the utility conduit lines.
