underground handhole enclosures
are designed to meet or exceed the tier loadings
set forth in the American National Standards
Institute’s ANSI/SCTE 77 2007 “Specification
for Underground Enclosure Integrity”
1
. ANSI
tier designations are minimum specifications
used by the industry to ensure the safe and
reliable performance of underground handhole
enclosures.
The ANSI application tier number relates to a
nominal design load times 1,000 pounds (i.e.:
Tier 8 = 8 x 1,000 lbs. = 8,000 lbs.). All ANSI
tier loadings will have a corresponding test load
which is 50% greater than the design load. The
maximum deflection at the indicated design load
shall be 1/2 inch for vertical tests and 1/4 inch per
foot of length for lateral tests.
