Buried Treasure: A Pro's Guide to Tough Underground Enclosures

When you're running critical cables underground, the job doesn't end once the trench is filled in. The termination points and junctions are the most vulnerable parts of the entire system. A heavy-duty Underground Enclosure—often known as an access pit or in-ground box—is the essential solution for protecting these connections from the harsh Aussie environment.

At SCHNAP, our range of underground enclosures is built tough to provide reliable, weather-resistant protection for your cable terminations and network access points across commercial, civil, and residential sites.

What Are Underground Enclosures Used For?

These versatile and robust pits are the industry standard for a huge range of applications:

• Telecommunications: Providing a secure access point for NBN, Telstra, and other carrier network terminations (often called a 'telco pit').
• Electrical Cabling: Housing and protecting underground electrical cable joints and terminations.
• Data Networks: Safeguarding fibre optic or copper data cable junctions for inter-building links.
• Irrigation & Control Systems: Protecting solenoid valves and control wiring for large-scale irrigation and lighting systems.

Built Tough for the Harshest Aussie Conditions

An underground enclosure has to withstand a lot more than just being buried. Our range is engineered for long-term survival in the real world.

• Robust Protection: Our enclosures provide certified protection against moisture ingress, dust, and physical impact, keeping your connections safe and dry.
• Durable, Weather-Resistant Materials: Made from heavy-duty, UV-stabilised materials that are designed to resist cracking and degradation from years of exposure to the harsh Australian sun and shifting soil conditions.
• High Load Ratings: We offer a range of enclosures with different load ratings, ensuring they are suitable for everything from garden beds and footpaths to driveways and other light-traffic areas.
