Trench Shoring and Protection

When  installing  deep  utilities,  trench  shoring  is  typically  required  to  minimize  the excavated  area.  There  are  several  different  methods  of  trench  shoring  and  should  be determined  for  the  specific  project.  The  most  common  type  of  trench  shoring  is  trench boxes.  These  are  prebuilt  and  certified  steel  walls  (trench  box)  that  use  braces  between each steel wall. Side shields are commonly placed on the ends to enclose the entire area. There  is  a  wide  range  of  trench  boxes  available.  For  projects  that  cannot  use  a  typical trench box, we can design a sheet pile wall with tie back anchors if required.
