Trench Sheet Driving Plate

The Groundforce Trench Sheet Driving Plate is an alternative to using traditional piling caps when using the ‘dig and push’ method to install trench sheets. The Trench Sheet Driving Plate should always be used in conjunction with a Quick Release Shackle (QRS) to pitch the sheets.

Available in two sizes to suit most excavator quick hitches, the driving plate comprises either 65mm or 80mm retention pins that couple directly to the hitch, transferring control to the excavator operator, thereby eliminating the need for working at height and establishing a safer method of working.

Trench Sheet (Standard)

Groundforce Shorco offer a comprehensive range of cold formed lapped trench sheets and interlocking light pile sections to provide a cost effective solution for most excavation support applications. Many of the sections are produced from high yield steel which provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio resulting excellent durability whilst driving and resistance to on-site damage.

Driving Caps

Driving Caps are specifically designed to aid the installation of trench sheets. They are simple to fit and use and act as a protective shield which vastly reduces end damage to trench sheets while improving the driving process. Caps are available in two sizes to cover the range of Groundforce trench sheets.

Larssen Sheet Piles

Larssen Piles are a type of sheet piling that has an interlocking section which forms a sheet piling retaining wall. Each sheet pile section is connected at 180 degrees from the previous one to form a uniform wall with alternating troughs and peaks. Larssen Sheet Piles are typically used in temporary or permanent cofferdams, retaining walls and foundation construction.

Piling Hammer (EMV)

Piling Hammers (EMVs) are specifically designed as a sheet piling attachment for excavators. They have a high power to weight ratio due to the high operating frequency and can apply an additional vertical force from the excavator to assist driving if required. This type of excavator mounted sheet pile driver is ideally suited to cohesive, granular soil conditions and can significantly decrease driving time, reduce noise and minimise potentially hazardous vibrations.
