Comparison
Norvant Design Innovation vs Standard Handhole Features
See how Tier 3 stacks up on capacity, lead time, installation, and compliance.
Design Feature
Why This Matters
Norvant Solution
Standard Market Offerings
Lid Security in Flood Conditions
Heavy rain causes vaults to flood, pressure buildup lifts lids into traffic or they float away
Auto-Latch System – automatic locking prevents lid displacement under pressure
Manual friction-fit lids that can dislodge; requires separate locking mechanisms or weighted lids
Ground Movement Protection
Freeze-thaw cycles and soil heaving push vaults upward, breaking seals and damaging installations
Flared Anti-Heaving Base Design – wider footprint resists vertical displacement from frost and water action
Straight-wall designs rely on weight alone; vulnerable to seasonal ground movement
Structural Strength
Smooth walls requiring thicker material or composite reinforcement to achieve same load rating
Working Space for Splicing
High-density fiber deployments need room for splice cases, slack storage, and future cable additions
25% Larger Internal Capacity at same price tier – future-proofs against network growth
Standard internal dimensions force premature change-outs as take-rates increase
Asset Location & Management
Field crews waste time locating buried infrastructure; asset databases become outdated
Designed for Locating Puck Integration – optional sensor enables GPS mapping and digital asset management
No provisions for tracking technology; relies on paper maps or technician memory

Structural Strength
Why This Matters
HDPE is lightweight but must withstand Tier 22 load ratings (33,750 lbs) without flexing
Norvant Solution
Ribbed Sidewall Engineering – internal reinforcement maintains structural integrity at lower weight
