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".

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.From: Jason McKemieSent: Wednesday, June 16, 2021 12:07 PMSubject: [AFMUG] Handhole / vault recommendationI'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.
