Housing utilities in a concrete vault ensures their safety
and protection for years to come. Sensitive electrical components and other
utilities are securely located in a precast concrete transformer
pad. Concrete stands up to the harshest elements, offering superior security.
Using precast concrete for your utility vault offers many
advantages. Precast concrete vaults are produced in a controlled environment
with high strength concrete so you can reduce the thickness of the walls and
area of steel.
Utility vaults are a perfect solution for underground
utility projects. They can be used to retrofit old utilities and install new
ones. For years, utility vaults have been used in industries such as water, gas,
telecommunications, electrical and fiber-optics.
Because precast
concrete vaults are produced in a controlled environment, weather
conditions are irrelevant and will not delay your construction project. When
you use precast concrete, you don't have to wait for excavation, curing and
installation of Sparks precast electrical accessory items. Precast concrete
gets the job done more quickly and efficiently.
When designing a utility vault, there are many other
constraints to consider before it is assembled for use. What live loads, such
as vehicles and pedestrians will be involved? What dead loads will have an
impact including walkways such as the vault roof, roadbed, earth fill and
static load around the vault? What will the handling loads be? Have the water
tables in the area been reviewed and flotation considered? Is the soil at the
utility vault site dry, saturated or filled with corrosive chemicals? What
watertight requirements are necessary such as joints and penetrations?
The concrete used in precast utility vaults is dense so
often sealants are not required. If conditions are harsh, protective coatings
might be necessary to ensure your precast transformer pad is watertight. The
joints will need gaskets or concrete sealants to repel water and keep contents
safe.
You also have flexibility when you use precast concrete utility
vaults. With modular sectional and panel precast utility vaults, you can create
a structure of almost any size and shape. See if your precast concrete
manufacturer already makes the exact design you need so specialized
construction isn't necessary.
With all the variables to consider, how can you ensure you
have the proper utility vault design? precast concrete plants
demonstrate their commitment to producing top quality products though the NPCA
Plant Certification Program. This voluntary certification program provides the
Quality Control Manual for precast concrete plants. The program includes all
aspects of precast operation required to produce the highest quality precast
concrete products.
