Abstract
A pedestal closure assembly having a housing that defines an enclosed interior space and includes two side walls, a front wall, a rear wall, an upper portion and a lower portion. A mounting plate is supported by the housing in the interior space and serves to support electronic interconnection blocks. A grounding element to enable grounding of electrical equipment connected to any electronic interconnection block is also attached to the mounting plate. The lower portion of the housing has a scoop-shaped structure and a step structure to allow substantially vertically aligned installation and enhanced anchoring in a support medium such as earth, concrete and the like. The step portion may be formed on either the front wall or rear wall of the lower portion of the housing. The housing, mounting plate scoop-shaped structure and step structure is constructed of non-metallic material, such as high density polyethylene, or HDPE.
