How FredVault™ Installs Burial Vaults: Our Engineered, Professional Method
At FredVault™, our installation method is engineered for strength, stability, and long-term protection. Every vault is installed by trained specialists following a strict operational standard to ensure flawless placement and maximum structural integrity.
1. Site Preparation
Our team begins by preparing the burial site with precision:
- Assess soil conditions and grave dimensions
- Level and compact the base for uniform support
- Confirm alignment with the cemetery’s burial plot layout
This ensures the vault rests on a stable, reinforced foundation that prevents future sinking or shifting.
2. Vault Positioning
Using controlled mechanical lifting systems, the vault is lowered into the excavation with accuracy and care:
- Vault is centered perfectly inside the grave
- Level tolerance is checked to ensure correct lid seating
- Positioning is verified before anchoring begins
This step ensures the vault sits exactly where it should — secure, aligned, and ready for sealing.
3. Ground Anchoring System
To guarantee long-term stability, every FredVault™ unit is anchored using one of our approved systems:
- External anchor stakes (model-dependent)
- Internal anchor brackets for reinforced models
Anchors prevent lateral movement and protect the vault from soil pressure, ground shift, or external interference. A final structural check is completed before sealing.
4. Sealing & Closure
Once positioned and anchored, the vault is sealed using our professional-grade closure system:
- Application of vault-grade sealing compound
- Precision placement of the lid using a lock-fit system
- Full perimeter seal inspection
This creates a secure, tamper-resistant barrier that protects the casket from moisture, pressure, and external disturbance.
5. Backfill & Finalization
After sealing, the grave is restored with care and precision:
- Layered soil backfill to prevent future sinking
- Surface compaction for long-term stability
- Site cleared and prepared for the funeral service
The result is a clean, stable, dignified burial site ready for the family and funeral proceedings.
