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.

  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.
