It's a composite of some kind. The brand is Polylok.

We got them from a local pipe * culvert supply company. I don't know where they got them, but they are rated at 2500 lb load.

What do you use for a lid?

Push comes to shove, you could fab your own handhole from corrugated HDPE culvert. We use a couple of 24" diameter ones for access to our septic tank. We did zero reinforcement and trucks often have driven over them. The lids can be pricey, but you could also fab a lid from wire mesh and concrete.

You can get 18" corrugated culvert for around $16/foot. Diameters up to 60".

Google direct buries most of their splice enclosures with a locate ball.
 
I am thinking of making a large cube of styrofoam that has a pocket for the splice case.
Direct bury it all with a locate ball.  Need back in, just cut the sod and pull out the styrofoam.
 
The strength of a block of styrofoam is in the same range of firm to stiff soil. 
Lot less money than a handhole.  You could use a hot blade and cut it up to get it out if you needed the slack coil.

I've been using the Carson / Oldcastle 2200-18 vaults with a 6" extension, but everything is backordered 30+ weeks.  Does anyone have any alternate suggestions for a vault to hold a FOSC 450A  splice closure? HDPE would probably be preferable, but I could do a concrete polymer if necessary.
 
Thanks.
