NWPX Park and NWPX Geneva vaults serve as the backbone for safe and resilient underground systems, combining best-in-class design with robust reinforced concrete construction.
Every NWPX vault is engineered with security at the forefront, featuring lockable hatches that enable safe, authorized access for critical maintenance or repairs. They are built to local utility specifications or municipal standards, streamline installation and permitting across jurisdictions, while NEC/CEC compliance guarantees that each vault meets national safety standards for electric equipment enclosures. Multiple PacifiCorp-approved configurations are available for projects in Pacific Power and Rocky Mountain Power service areas.
Flexibility and customization are core advantages. Vaults can be tailored to support a range of equipment sizes, utility layouts, and access preferences, delivering ideal solutions to projects from substations to campus complexes, data centers, renewable energy installations, and more.
Designed for powerful functionality, each unit features a comprehensive accessories package tailored to project specifications. Integrated cable management systems, complete with racks, terminators, knockouts, and pulling irons, ensure organized and efficient routing of complex power and communications cabling. Optional features like ventilation, waterproofing, fireproofing, sump pumps, and resistance to seismic or wind loads provide all-season resilience in even the most challenging conditions. For sensitive telecom or data infrastructure, specialized grounding and electromagnetic shielding further protect vital systems from interference.
Practicality is equally essential. Secure internal access points and ladders facilitate inspection and enable quick, safe entry for authorized personnel. With every unit manufactured in a controlled environment, consistent quality and strict adherence to industry benchmarks are assured. NWPX vaults stand as a comprehensive solution for modern infrastructure needs, combining security, durability, flexibility, and regulatory compliance. By supporting essential equipment and enhancing operational efficiency, these vaults help future-proof utility and communications networks for decades to come.
