Bracing Systems

Altrad Generation TerraBrace is a versatile excavation bracing range used with trench sheets or sheet piles for manholes, chambers, tank installations, basements and small to large excavations. Available in 3 sizes, 254, 390 and 550, it delivers enhanced performance with no loss of allowable bending moment at the joints, minimising beam deflection. Its slim joint design reduces excavation width, while interchangeable components and adapters allow different brace sizes to connect at corners. TerraBrace is EN14653 and EN1090 compliant, CE marked, quick to install and remove, and suitable for virtually any excavation shape. Pinned connections speed up installation without spanners or air ratchets, while standard extensions, integral lifting points and built-in shear stops improve assembly, handling and safety.

The Altrad Generation Raptor Brace is a high-performance bracing system for use with trench sheets or sheet piles, designed to create cofferdams of all sizes for chambers, drive pits, tank installations and more. Its market-leading design maintains full allowable bending moment across extension and hydraulic ram joints, eliminating the safety and logistical issues associated with lower-performance systems or limited reverse bending capacity.

Pinned joints enable faster installation without spanners or air ratchets, while in-house engineering teams provide full drawings and clear build sequences. Based on Altrad Generation’s robust 300 series frame, the modular system is quick to install and remove, adaptable to almost any excavation shape, and uses easy-connect pins with complementary fixed-length components for tailored excavation solutions.
