Trench Shoring

Aluminum Hydraulic Shores

This shoring solution offers maximum versatility and is ideal for working in complex conditions, especially around existing utilities and structures.

Aluminum Hydraulic Boxes

Aluminum hydraulic shields combine the benefit of aluminum hydraulic shoring with the solid wall security of a static shield.

End Shores

 

Manhole Bracing

Combining the benefts of aluminum hydraulic shoring with the ruggedness of steel box tubing, excavation braces are specifically designed for shoring square and rectangular excavations.

Waler Systems

If your site has unstable soil conditions, walers off 100% above-ground installation to keep workers out of unshored trenches while maximizing workspace and clearnace in your open bays.

Trench Shielding

Aluminum Trench Shields

Aluminum shields or trench boxes are perfect for smaller jobs, providing exceptional strength and as little as half the weight of steel trench shields. Our comprehensive line includes popular shields as well as heavy-duty models.

Aluminum Build-a-Box / Modular Aluminum Panel Shields (MAPS)

This modular system can be assembled in minutes and is designed to change the site requirements. Available in range of one to four side panel configurations, with adjustable spreaders.

Manhole Shields

Ideal for deeper jobs, the square manhole configuration is available in single or double-walled models.

Steel Trench Shields

Ideal for sewer and pipeline work, our steel trench shields and steel manhole shields feature double-walled construction for greater sidewall security and optimum strength-to-weight ratios.

Arch Spreaders

Get maximum clearance for bore-pits and large-diameter pipes with our easy-to-install arch spreaders, available in a full range of widths.

Round Manguards

Specifically designed for personal protection during manhole installation and repair work. The corrugated steel design provides for a light weight yet strong option for this type of work.

Guard Rail

A safe and effective way to protect the perimeter for your excavation. Our guard rail installs to the wall of your shoring system quickly and easily using screw clamps.

Trench Ladders

OSHA standards require a safe means of access and egress for emplyees working in trench excavations. Our trench ladders satisfy these requirements and can be installed quickly by clamping down onto the walls of the trench protective system

Engineered Systems

Beam & Plate Shoring

Beam and plate systems offer a unique cost-effective alternative to customary sheet-piling methods. Ideal for longer term excavations, the system is installed faster than traditional steel sheeting at a fraction of the cost, while providing you with the necessary work space.

Steel Sheeting & Bracing

Interlocking or overlapping steel sheeting is the preferred system for very loose or saturated soil conditions. We stock a variety of profiles in different shapes, thickness and lengths for use in a variety of situations based on engineering design.

Mega Brace

This state-of-the-art bracing technology uses hydraulically adjustable legs for multi-sided excavations. Designed for heavy-duty applications, it's quick and easy to install, eliminating the need for beam cutting and welding.

Guard Rail

A safe and effective way to protect the perimeter of your excavation. Our guard rail installs to the wall of your shoring system quickly and easily using screw clamps.

Trench Ladders

OSHA standards require a safe means of access and egress for employees working in trench excavations. Our trench ladders satisfy these requirements and can be installed quickly by clamping down onto the walls of a trench protective system.

Confined Space Entry Equipment

Gas Monitors

Our reliable single and multi gas detectors offer a comprehensive range of innovative features and functions depending on your needs, as well as state-of-the-art real time monitoring systems and alerts.

Tripod & Winch

We offer complete, quick-activating retrieval rescue systems with emergency hoists and tripods that vie you a 4:1 mechanical advantage for an average speed of 25' per minute when time is of the essence.

Davit Arms

A Davit Arm is a perfect option for safe confined space entry/rescue when a standard tripod cannot be used. The adjustable offset davit mast and clamping base is ideal for shoring applications.

Ventilator (Gas/Electric)

Our high-performance ventilation systems provide up to 12,000 cfm of fresh air and remove toxic gases from the confined and large spaces, including pipelines, tunnels, waste water treatment facilities and buildings under construction/demolition.

Guard Rail

A safe and effective way to protect the perimeter of your excavation. Our guard rail installs to the wall of your shoring system quickly and easily using screw clamps.
