Trench Supports

What is Trench Supports?

trench is defined as an excavation when its length greatly exceeds its depth. Shallow trenches are usually considered to be less than 6 m deep and deep trenches greater than 6m. Depending on the dimensions of a trenchexcavation can either be carried out by hand or using a mechanical digger. Trenches are commonly required to allow servicespipelines or foundations to be laid.Water ingress into the trench is often a major issue and ground water table locations and soil strata should be investigated before any extensive excavation takes place.

Over short periods of time for relatively shallow depths most soil types will stand almost vertically without any problems. However, trenches other than those which are relatively shallow may require a trench support scheme.
