Trench Boxes
Our trench boxes provide vital safety for excavations up to head height. Designed to prevent collapses, these steel structures come in light and heavy-duty variants. Engineered to BS 5975 standards, they ensure worker safety during utility installations and pipeline works across the UK's construction sector.
Trenchless Technology
Pipe bursting and conduit rod systems enable underground installations without excavations. This minimizes surface disruption for road crossings and heritage sites. Our equipment handles pipes up to 180mm diameter over 20m lengths, maintaining environmental integrity while reducing project timelines.
Temporary Works Design
Professional engineers create site-specific designs for excavation and formwork systems. Compliant with BS 5975 standards, these plans optimize safety and efficiency. Our team provides full documentation packages, supporting complex projects like propping historic buildings and deep excavations.
Formwork Solutions
Frami Panel Systems and Slimshore soldiers enable safe concrete pouring for modern structures. Modular components adapt to diverse projects from basements to bridges. Systems withstand wet concrete pressures while ensuring dimensional accuracy, meeting structural engineers' specifications for load-bearing capacity.
Trench Sheets
Steel trench sheets line deep excavations, preventing soil collapse during infrastructure projects. Available in various lengths, they form temporary retaining walls for pipeline installations and foundation works. Combined with waler frames, these systems enable safe working conditions in challenging ground conditions.
