Trench shoring
As Trench structural measures and institutions for supporting and securing trench, pit and shaft walls in the area of excavation called. In contrast to the construction pit sheeting, the lateral safeguards support each other.
For safety considerations and for reasons of occupational health and safety, trenches, pits and shafts may generally be excavated vertically up to a maximum depth of 1.25 m. Exceeding this depth is only possible without further safety measures if the framework conditions are appropriate, such as stable ground (rock). The requirements for this are regulated in DIN 4124 or DIN EN 1610, depending on the application. If the ground is not stable or if the depth is exceeded, the side walls must be built up and / or sloped . Depending on the requirements, different shoring designs are used. A distinction is made between horizontal and vertical shoring as well as different shoring systems that have to be tested and approved.
