FAQs
What does shoring mean?

Shoring refers to a structural support system. It’s typically a system of bracing using wood or metal poles and beams to support trench shields and prevent soil, rocks, utilities and sometimes paved roads from caving in while workers complete trench projects.

What is a trench box?

A trench box is a system designed to protect workers from the pressure and weight of the soil in the event of a cave-in. Trench boxes can also be called trench shields or trench sheets.

What three things make a confined space?

The three things that define a confined space are limited or restricted means of entry or exit, the space is not intended for continuous human occupancy and the space is large enough for a human to enter and conduct work.
