ABSTRACT:
Finned airport junction box container base apparatus and associated installation method are disclosed for an airport edge lighting fixture or an airport sign in an airport runway, taxiway, or other aircraft ground traffic area. Vertical finned vanes are welded to the side of an airport junction box container base spaced apart around the circumference and extending radially outward for providing lateral stability and strength to the junction box to permit push-it installation and to support loads. A bottom edge on the finned vanes extends radially outward from the container base positioned at a penetrating angle from the horizontal to the junction box base bottom end for penetrating earthen or asphalt material when pushed downwardly. A top edge on the vertical fins extends downwardly from a welded point underneath the top flange, wherein the junction box is reusable by removal and reinstallation at another location. In one aspect, the finned apparatus and method of the present invention include installation by a Push-It Machine mobile push-it and installation apparatus and method to provide advantages of efficiency and productivity for installing the finned junction box or container base into the ground or asphalt.
