Trench Boxes: Typical Installation Methodology

This quick and easy method ensures ground stability within a trench and helps minimise the excavation area to avoid damage to neighbouring structures and utilities in the ground. This methodology is best suited for trench boxes with shorter struts, if you use a trench box with long struts then other methods may be more suited, if you have any questions on different methods you can use contact our technical department.

Trench Box

A trench box is generally the first choice for the rapid shoring of trench runs due to the speed and simplicity of installation. They are typically suitable for use in trenches up to 4.9m wide x 6.6m deep in reasonable ground conditions, they are not recommended in unmanaged, waterlogged ground. Groundforce offer a wide range of trench box sizes with various strut types, providing a safe solution on site. A trench box is versatile, cost-effective and provide an excellent way of protecting workers from excavation wall collapse while carrying out groundworks. They can easily be stacked and used in multiple runs, which also makes them the ideal shoring method for continuously supporting an extended length of trench. Some of the key benefits are:

Mini LadderSafe

Mini LadderSafe is a lightweight, temporary, gated access platform that uses a conventional ladder to gain access/egress to shallow excavations up to 4m deep. The system can be used on most trench sheet and steel pile profiles up to 25mm thick and on trench box panels up to 120mm plate width.

EdgeSafe

EdgeSafe is a lightweight mesh barrier system designed to provide light duty edge protection to a trench box, sheeted or timbered excavations. It can be used on short or long continuous runs and has been designed in accordance with BS EN 13374: 2004 Class A.

Lifting Chains

Lifting Chains are specifically configured for lifting Groundforce shoring equipment and are available in a range of lengths, legs and capacities.
