Surface mounted floor box or pedestal on concrete floor

[anbm]

Does anyone know a floor box or pedestal product has one duplex outlet face up,
the box will be surface mounted on concrete floor. Thank you.

It depends on what kind of floor. Is it slab-on-grade, or is there a floor below?

Ther are all sorts of floor box /receptacle available. Not sure of any for concrete floor in a retrofir design. Usually this is planed for before the concrete is poured. Face up also has consideration for intrusion of water/dirt when planing product to use.

ground floor, need to be surface mounted not recessed in concrete box and of course UL listed.

Do search for "Walker monument floor receptacle".

If you can find it this would work.

A simple 2x4 box like a surface mount exterior box while would work, could be a trip hazzard as a surface mount on floor. A pedestal would be more appropriate but never seen with up facing receptacle.

Boxes recessed into the poured concrete floor often have upward-facing receptacles, but I've never seen a monument or doghouse box that does. If you're digging up the floor to run the conduit, why not dig a little more and use a PVC floor box. They make ones that you can trim flush after the concrete sets.

Why does the socket have to face up?

Could not find one, can below outlet be surface mounted?

I need to be more clear, they build a small trench/pocket with nice cover on top of trench, the cover is flush with floor but openable, the trench run around perimeter of a lobby. The client wants to have power/data outlets located inside that trench. The trench is around 14" wide, besides electrical box, there is also hvac small heating pipe run along the trench, no trip hazard here as the box is below the trench.

Picture of space might help in understanding what it is you are trying to do.
