Your Project Deserves Expert Attention
Overview
Heavy duty, reliable and cost effective.
Our Christy range of concrete enclosures, lids and accessories provides robust, durable utility access in deliberate traffic environments and high-impact applications.
With its AASHTO HS20 load rating, Christy enclosures are optimized for use on roadways that experience heavy vehicular traffic, while the heavy-duty cover in the non-deliberate traffic range protects against damage from surface activities such as mowing.
Utilities and contractors have relied on Christy hand holes, valve boxes, meter boxes and vaults in the electrical, communications and water sectors for over 40 years.

Benefits
Get robust utility access on deliberate traffic roadways
Made of precast concrete and reinforced steel and rigorously performance-tested, Christy deliberate traffic enclosures and lids are AASHTO HS20 rated, meaning that they provide robust, durable utility access on roadways under the heaviest deliberate traffic loads.
Protect against surface hazards in pedestrian areas
Christy non-deliberate traffic enclosures feature concrete covers to provide utility access option for greenbelt applications—protecting against accidental damage from machinery such as commercial mowers or aerators.
Design and install with flexibility
Available in round and rectangular configurations and with three different depth options, our wide range of Christy enclosures delivers design flexibility.
Units are supplied with standard mouseholes, with some models providing additional knock-outs for in-field modification if required. Custom knock-outs are available on request.
Christy is also spec-approved for a number of cities and municipalities.
Key features
