Abstract

A flush to grade utilities vault is disclosed. The vault comprises a concrete box with a lockable, hinged fiberglass lid. The box has an appendage housing the locking mechanism external to the box. The lid is designed to achieve an ASTM A-16 load rating and has a domed skid resistant surface for use flush with a sidewalk. A floor platform lies above the bottom of the box such that utilities cables enter the box below the floor. A hinged utilities wiring frame is mounted inside opposite the lid hinge such that the frame hinges down in the box when the vault is closed and into a vertical position for making connections. A safety barrier is formed by the lid, the wiring frame, and barrier arms which hinge between them. A venting system provides egress for gasses and equalization of pressure between the interior and exterior of the vault.
