I pictured wrapping a case in plastic wrap and just using it as a form
to mold some foam into the right shape.
.....it's all amusing to think about, but I imagine we'll keep buying
precast handholes.

Haven’t tried it at all but the company website says it’s
polyurethane. I never thought it looked worth trying for posts but
thought it might work to pour it around a splice case to make a foam
block like Chuck was talking about. Now that I’m thinking about it
though, it wouldn’t just be a pocket but you’d have to cut it off the
case if/when you ever needed to get into it since it would be a formed
blob.

@James that stuff is a complete joke, we tried it for a few posts at
customer sites and it was entirely a waste of time

I would think carve it with a wire cutter. Polyurethane is pretty
expensive foam.

So do you carve a handhole pocket out of a solid block, or mold
the styrofoam with a handhole pocket built in?
I wonder if you could mold your own out of polyurethane foam.

Google direct buries most of their splice enclosures with a

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.
