Slide Rail Systems

Slide Rail Systems are advanced excavation support solutions designed to provide safe, efficient shoring for deep excavations, utility installations, tanks, vaults, pump stations, and other critical underground infrastructure projects. Unlike traditional trench boxes or driven sheet piling, a slide rail system utilizes a combination of steel panels and vertical posts that are installed progressively as excavation occurs. This "dig and push" installation method helps maintain ground stability throughout the excavation process while minimizing over-excavation and reducing the need for larger, specialized equipment.

Engineered for exceptional versatility, Slide Rail Systems can be configured as standard four-sided pits, large unobstructed ClearSpan™ excavations, Multi-Bay™ systems for long utility runs, or specialized installations around existing underground infrastructure. By using modular components, contractors can create custom excavation support systems tailored to project requirements while maintaining safe working conditions in confined spaces, urban environments, roadways, rail corridors, and other challenging job sites. The system's flexibility, efficiency, and proven performance have made it a preferred shoring solution for municipalities, utility contractors, excavation specialists, and civil construction firms across North America.

Hydraulic Shoring

Hydraulic Shoring Systems provide active trench protection by applying controlled pressure directly against trench walls to help prevent soil movement and cave-ins before they occur. Unlike trench shields that primarily protect workers from a collapse, hydraulic shoring stabilizes the excavation itself, making it an ideal solution for utility installations, repairs, and excavations in confined areas where trench boxes may not be practical. These lightweight aluminum systems can be installed and removed entirely from the surface, eliminating the need for workers to enter an unprotected trench during setup or removal.

Designed for maximum versatility, hydraulic shoring systems are available with standard and heavy-duty vertical shores, horizontal walers, hydraulic end shores, and hydraulic Alum-A-Shield® systems. Their modular design allows contractors and municipalities to safely address a wide range of trench depths and widths while adapting to changing field conditions. Hydraulic shores are particularly effective when working around existing utilities, structures, sidewalks, roadways, foundations, and other sensitive environments where excavation support and limited access are critical considerations.

Key Features

- Actively applies hydraulic pressure to trench walls to prevent soil movement and cave-ins.

- Installed and removed from the surface without requiring entry into an unshored excavation.

- Lightweight aluminum construction simplifies transportation and handling.

- Available in both standard-duty and heavy-duty configurations.

- Suitable for trenches up to approximately 25 ft (7.62 m) deep and 12 ft (3.66 m) wide.

- Cylinder extension systems allow increased adaptability for varying trench widths.

- Hydraulic operating pressures provide reliable trench wall support in multiple soil conditions.
