Abstract
A modular utility vault system can include a plurality of panels, a clip, and a cover panel. Each panel can include a first side including a first protrusion, a second side including a second protrusion, a lower side having a first length, and an upper side having a second length. The second length is less than first length. The first side of a panel of the plurality of panels is configured to abut the second side of a second panel thereby causing the first protrusion to abut the second protrusion. The clip can be configured to hold the first protrusion to the second protrusion.
