Abstract: A utility floorbox for use with ice covered floors which is constructed with a housing or frame having a cover and a sealing member therebetween so that access can be obtained to the interior of the floorbox for accessing the utilities therein. The floorbox is water tight, so that it does not interfere with utility applications, such as electrical applications. A cover is provided with the floorbox and is designed to withstand heavy loads which may be imposed on the floor by utility trucks, or the like.

Abstract: An improved floor box of the type commonly installed into the concrete floor of a facility for providing temporary connections to utilities is disclosed which may be removed and replaced without requiring either the demolition and subsequent reconstruction of the floor in which the improved floor box is installed or the replacement or repair of the utility lines located in the floor and connected to the improved floor box. The improved floor box is secured within a rim member mounted into the concrete floor by bolts mounted from the inside of the improved floor box, and the outside of the improved floor box is wrapped with sheets of extruded polystyrene expanded foam material to prevent poured concrete from encasing the improved floor box itself, thereby permitting easy removal of the improved floor box from the concrete floor. The connections to the improved floor box to electrical and plumbing lines are made in a manner allowing them to be disconnected from the improved floor box from the inside thereof.
