A method of assembling an underground enclosure assembly configured for use with one or more of communications, power and/or irrigation system equipment, the method comprising:
- providing a first shell member having at least one side edge with at least one snap projection and a plurality of apertures;
- providing a second shell member having at least one side edge with at least one snap projection and a plurality of apertures;
- snapping the at least one snap projection of the first shell member into one aperture of the plurality of apertures of the second shell member to attach a first side edge of the first shell member to a second side edge of the second shell member;
- rotating the second shell member such that another snap projection of the first shell member is disposed into another aperture of the plurality of apertures of the second shell member to attach a second side edge of the first shell member to a first side edge of the second shell member, coupling the first and second shell members together;
- and
- coupling a lid to the first and second shell members via at least two bolt assemblies, the lid including an underside with a plurality of ribs and a flange extending downwardly from a rim portion of the lid.
