Trench Support Systems for Excavation

From shallow excavations to ones that can be up to 5.5 metres deep, trench support systems are need when installing pipes and other utilities. The equipment usually used within these applications is generally lightweight, with specification depending on ground conditions, available site equipment and any site constraints that need to be taken into account, such as existing services.

Altrad RMD has an extensive range of trench support systems available, from box systems covering manhole, trench, drag and backhoe boxes, to trench sheets and walers. We can help support your project, no matter what your trench support system requirements are.

Key considerations

Safety
When undertaking pipe-laying applications, it’s important to have systems in place that will ensure maximum levels of safety. Trench sheets used in conjunction with struts and walers can help deliver assured safety on site.
Handling and trench sizes
With pipe lifters and drag boxes, pipes can be removed from transit and installed quickly, without compromising other works on site or the safety of workers. Meanwhile, trench sheets are ideal for supporting smaller trenches when installing utilities.
