INNOVATED TUBULAR TRENCH SHIELDS (ESC TSB TRENCH BOX SERIES)

The ESC TSB Tubular Trench Shield Series introduces an advanced structural design that delivers enhanced strength, durability, and reliability compared to conventional trench shield configurations.

The tubular framework promotes more uniform load distribution across the shield structure, helping reduce localized stress concentrations while maintaining excellent resistance to demanding soil pressures and jobsite conditions. As a result, contractors benefit from improved service life, reduced maintenance requirements, and dependable excavation protection throughout the project lifecycle.

Depth ratings include consideration of surcharge load of 72 psf.
As per NAXSA recommendations, depth of cut has been limited to 40ft for types A, B and C60 soil, and 30ft for C80 soil regardless of the capacity of the shield. If deeper cuts are required, it is recommended that a professional engineer is engaged to evaluate the site and soil conditions and specify a suitable trench shield or other shoring solution.
