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.

EndSafe

EndSafe is a structural steel panel designed to close-off the end of a trench box or manhole box to safely retain the backfill and prevent accidental dislodgement of loose material into the excavation. They also provide a barrier to prevent unauthorised access to the excavation and remove the need to improvise with other unsuitable equipment such as steel road plates or timber.

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:

Manhole Box

A manhole box is similar to a trench box in it's basic function, but they incorporate integral end return panels for extra ground support when placing pre-cast manhole rings, as an alternative to sheets and frames. There are five available sizes catering to common manhole ring sizes. They can be quickly assembled and installed without an operator needing to enter the unsupported excavation, supporting trenches up to 5.5m using the base module and various struts. Ideal for most ground conditions.
