SHORING BOX SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

A shoring box system (10) for use in a ground trench (60) includes a pair of shoring panels (12) and a number of elongate props (22). The props are attached to the two shoring panels to maintain the panels in an erected position in which they are spaced apart, with an open zone (19) between the panels. The props can be detached from the shoring panels while the shoring panels are in the erected position. In an embodiment each panel is hollow and has a lower opening (36) with a closure flap (38) for closing the opening, to enable filling material in the hollow to pour from the panel as it is removed from the trench. Also in an embodiment, each shoring panel is tapered in a downward direction.

主权项

1. A shoring box system including:
a pair of shoring panels; and a plurality of elongate props, each adapted for releasable attachment to the two shoring panels by prop connectors, so as to maintain the shoring panels in an erected position in which the shoring panels are spaced apart from each other with an interior zone between the panels, wherein the prop connectors are adapted to enable the props, when connected to the shoring panels, to be individually detached from the shoring panels while the shoring panels are in said erected position.
