Lightweight, Corrosion
Resistant, All Terrain Enclosure
Since
1986, MCI, AT&T, US Sprint and
other companies have laid hundreds of thousands of miles
of fiber optic cable throughout the country. About every
two miles a QUAZITE® polymer concrete splice box is
used to house cable. The companies were able to route the
underground fiber optic cable through mountains, swamps
and forest because of the lightweight, easy-to-install
polymer concrete boxes. The alternatives - conventional
poured concrete or precast concrete - require cranes
and other heavy equipment to install.
The heavy equipment is difficult or impossible
to get into some cable locations. Many of these locations,
such as swampy areas in the Everglades, are very corrosive
and have a deteriorating effect on conventional concrete.
However, polymer concrete boxes are resistant to such corrosive
attacks. Polymer concrete boxes have high impact resistance,
which is often of great benefit in such applications as
along railroad tracks where vibration can be intense.
QUAZITE® includes a full line of utility
products that are engineered for the electrical and telecommunications
industries. Transformer/telephone pads, underground boxes
and panel vaults are included in the QUAZITE® line.
