Many types of infrastructures make up the basic foundations of our civilizations. Without these large networks in place, you would not be able to see cities, neighborhoods, or even roads as they stand today. These infrastructures include electrical cables, sewer pipes, Internet cables, trash disposals, and more, but there are also the vaults that hold them. What is a utility vault, and what does Jet Blast Inc. have to do with one? Learn all about it below!
What Is a Utility Vault?
A utility vault is an underground container made of concrete and sometimes steel that houses utilities such as the ones mentioned above (sewer pipes, trash disposals, electrical wires, etc.). They have covers that keep them safe from outside forces, but are removable for maintenance. These vaults are most commonly found in urban areas where space is limited. Going underground helps to save space above ground.
Types of Vaults
- Barrel vault: A barrel vault has a rounded cross-section.
- Groin vault: At its cross-section, it looks like two intersecting arches with the tops cut off. It is more square in shape.
- Ribbed vault: It is a rounded vault with rib-like arches along it.
