Abstract:
1. A casting mold for casting a concrete vault portion having a lower base and a wall extending upwardly from the lower base and a lid portion, the casting mold comprising: a first form having a first wall extending upwardly from a first base and a second wall extending upwardly from a second base, the first and second walls and first and second bases defining a first casting space configured to form the vault portion, the first casting space including a base casting space for forming a base portion of the vault defined between the first base and the second base; a second form comprising a base and a wall extending from the base to define a second casting space configured to form the lid portion, the second form being selectively stackable on the first form during casting such that casting material can be disposed into the first and second casting spaces, including into the base casting space, when the second form is selectively stacked on the first form; a port defined through the second form operably defining access into the first casting space located below the port such that the casting material can be disposed into the first casting space through the port; and a port cover configured to selectively cover the port between the first form and the second form such that the casting material can be effectively filled into the second casting space instead of being disposed into the first casting space through the port when the port cover selectively covers the port, and whereby the casting mold is not disassembled during casting.
