SBH Double Slide Rail System
The slide rail system is a vertical sheeting and trench support system.  It is used to replace the conventional application of wood or steel sheeting.  In using the system, the excavation may be shored from ground level to subgrade without soil movement.  It is  a highly effective system in areas having unfavorable ground conditions or where an existing underground infrastructure would pose difficulties in trench support. By using the modular side rail system either with side panel lining plates or in-line sheeting templates, the system will accommodate a variety of jobsite requirements.  There is an added benefit to the contractor, in that a significant savings in labor and materials will be realized.
ADVANTAGES
  • Provides safety while excavating.
  • Tight sheeting without soil movement.
  • Vibration free, no damage to adjacent structures.
  • Save on equipment - No crane or hammer is required.
  • Installs with a mid-sized excavator.
  • Saves Money:  Less material cost than conventional sheeting, finish in a third of the time using half of the labor.
  • Lower restorative costs.
  • Professional engineer certified to OSHA Regulations.
APPLICATIONS Flexibility of design allows unlimited adaptations to accommodate a variety of sheeted excavation requirements.Use Slide Rail Tight Sheeting For:
  • Pre Cast and Cast in Place Structures
  • Concrete Walls and Footings
  • Retaining Walls
  • Seepage Basins
  • Culverts
  • Pump Stations
  • Deep Manholes
  • Tank Installation or Removal
  • Boring and Jacking Operations
  • Pipeline Installation
  • Foundation Waterproofing and More
Virtually any configuration is possible using combinations of single, double or triple slide rails, corner rails, side panels and in-line sheeting templates.

Single, Double or Triple Slide Rail Systems are available according to the depth of your trench. Single Slide Rails are used to 12' Deep, Double Slide rails to 26' Deep and Triple Slide Rails to 36' Deep.  Special Systems can be engineered to perform to your project. We have the widest widths available in the world, and we have the longest panels available in the world!

We are able to install a Utility Panel Frame in line with the Slide Rail System to allow for Utility Crossings.  Individual sheeting sections are driven within the Utility Panel Frame to support the crossing services. The Utility Panel Frame may also be used independently from the Slide Rail System by using optional spreaders and lower walers as required.

Our Rolling StrutsTM provide more clearance and are easier to use than any other available method.  Additionally, by having the ability to "Roll" the Struts up or down as required we are able to install a long pipe section into smaller bays.
