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.

Subject: [AFMUG] Handhole / vault recommendation

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.
