Mega Brace

The Mega Brace is a high load capacity modular hydraulic bracing system designed to support square, rectangular or multi-sided excavations ranging from 3.0m to 20.0m in plan.

Modular format allows for easy installation of large frame configurations with relatively light duty lifting equipment.
Pined joint and corner connections for quick assembly on site.
Ideal for long excavations, where large clear spans are required.
In built corner joint articulation enables the legs to be used for non-rectangular e.g. hexagonal excavations.
Double acting hydraulics with integral mechanical lock off valve for ease of installation and removal with zero fluid loss.
Full mechanical lock off system available on special order.

It comprises hydraulic unit for fine length adjustment connected to a series of modular fixed length extension pieces for course length adjustment, connected via a simple double pinned splice. The fixed length extensions can be connected together to form a continuous heavy-duty waling beam when used as part of an internally strutted frame.

Super Mega Brace

The Super Mega Brace is a high load capacity modular hydraulic bracing system designed to support square, rectangular or multi-sided excavations ranging from 4.7m to 24.2m in plan. Each leg comprises a length adjustable hydraulic unit, a series of modular fixed length extension pieces and a telescopic pinned rough adjuster unit.

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.

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.

Hydraulic Pumps

Manual Shoring Pumps provide the means to hydraulically expand, pressurise and retract Groundforce hydraulically operated shoring equipment. Hand pumps are generally recommended for use with smaller equipment where the volume of fluid within the internal rams is relatively small. For larger bracing frames and struts, motorised pumps are recommended.
