Our expert engineers created a solution that used a Shore 7.2m-36 Aluminium Trench Box panel in order to stop the excavated face from caving in, and 168mm spigot connectors and six Shore 400 Modular Props were used to prop and support the panel, these props were used in both a strong back and raking application to ensure optimal dispersion of load.

The solution also needed to consider pad footings that were at two different distances from the wall; therefore, each individual prop was constructed differently to achieve their required lengths, and placed at different raking angles.

This solution was a great success; the combination of shoring and propping provided a safe and secure working zone, prevented land slippage, and protected the adjacent permanent works and its infrastructure resulting in a happy client.
