Utility vaults are essential for the electrical, waterworks, telecommunications, and oil and gas industries. Westcon Precast has eight different models and we can also create specially designed options.
Applications of Precast Concrete Utility Vaults
There is a lot of expensive and essential equipment and utilities under the ground in our cities and towns. Municipalities need to keep electricity, waterworks, gas, and telecommunications infrastructure running smoothly and protected from vehicles and pedestrians.

These utility vaults keep every thing water tight and they last for decades. Our clients are small business, major contractors, and municipalities for large projects.

Installation
A precast concrete utility vault needs to be installed correctly to ensure its structural integrity:
- The utility vault should be inspected before loading and after it is delivered.
- The area should be excavated according to all city and provincial legislation.
- This excavated area should be level and compacted.
- Ensure the area can withstand the load of a small crane.
- A journeyman crane operator will install the pull box and then it can be covered.
