Altrad Generation's Standard Overlapping Trench Sheets are the go-to solution for temporary excavation support on small to medium-scale utility and drainage projects. With an effective width of 330mm and lengths available from 1500mm to 6000mm, these sheets cover the range of trench dimensions common across the UK groundworks sector.
Driven vertically into the ground, the sheets interlock in an overlapping profile to form continuous trench wall support. A galvanised zinc coating provides corrosion resistance for repeated use across multiple projects. The high strength-to-weight ratio makes these sheets practical for site teams to handle and install efficiently.
Standard Overlapping Trench Sheets are compatible with Altrad Generation Driving Caps, Quick Release Pitching Shackles, and Extraction Clamps and are available for hire and purchase from branches across the UK and Ireland.
