ESC has fully developed its Trench Shield Series (also known as Trench Boxes) a two-sided, high-quality and economical excavation support system that provides a safe working environment in trenches up to 40 feet deep. ESC’s trench shields are a heavy duty and robust product designed and manufactured in compliance with both national and International Standards. All shields are certified by third party professional engineers, following the guidelines and recommendations of NAXSA (North American Excavation Shoring Association).

SPECIFICATIONS
* Depth ratings include consideration of surcharge load of 72 psf.
* All 4’ and 6’ shields can be used as Extension Shields.
* 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.
DESIGN VERIFICATION
ESC completed third party verified structural calculations and professionally completed Finite Element Analysis of the proprietary ESC Trench Box design system, with special attention on the spreader connections to the panels. A wide range of loading conditions was simulated to verify the robustness of the system.
For North American customers all Trench Shoring systems adhere to OSHA 29 CFR 1926.650, 29 CFR 1926.651 and CFR 1926.652, Subpart P, Excavations.
A full scale component test with a third party independent witness was also completed to verify the design calculations with a focus on on the most critically loaded areas and potential weak points. A specially designed test rig was constructed to simulate the soil loads with a series of strain gauges situated throughout the trench panel structure to measure deflection of the structure under various loading combinations.
