Exceptional
situations...
Pipes with large dimensions, great depths, housing in the immediate
vicinity, continuous traffic passing close by, and a tight schedule -
these are conditions that demand the ultimate from trench shoring
systems. Testing conditions that mercilessly reveal what a shoring
system can really do and what it can ´t. And where its limits really
lie.
Linear Shoring - no comparison.
With linear shoring the soil either side of the trench remains
untouched. No adverse effects on housing, not even if it is in the
immediate vicinity. No impairment of traffic flow, not even if it is
moving right alongside the trench. Until the invention of linear
shoring, such feats were considered unattainable.
... demand exceptional systems.
The linear shoring systems from E + S are designed for just these
extreme shoring situations. The new, pioneering system which in certain
crucial respects opens up totally new dimensions. It is precisely when
it is put to the supreme test that linear shoring sets new standards of
performance, speed, efficiency and safety on site.

all easy to handle, user-friendly and low in maintenance. These decisive
criteria from the point of view of cost-effectiveness are the logical
outcome of our development, design engineering and production processes.
Maximizing the benefit for you as the user is the overriding goal of all
our activities. You benefit from rapid pay-back, high rates of on-site
return, minimum labor costs, investment security as a result of the
outstanding compatibility of the system components, and efficient
installation and extraction. No unnecessary expense for keeping
materials on hand or unnecessary auxiliary equipment.
The idea with the rollers gets the whole thing
rolling.
Linear shoring combines tried-and-tested functional principles with
unconventional, innovative ideas to create a revolutionary new shoring
system. What is well-known is shoring panels held in vertical rails so
that they can slide past one another. When fully installed, they create
an overlapping, height-adjustable shoring system.
What is new on the linear shoring
system is - replacing the permanently positioned hinged spreaders
usually found even on high-performance slide rail systems - the use of
rigid roller units to keep the soldiers and the shoring panels apart in
the trench. In such a way that the desired trench width remains the same
- absolutely the same - at all stages of installation.
Vertically mobile, horizontally adjustable.
The roller units mounted in the soldiers of the shoring system can be
adjusted in height to match the increasing depth of the trench. The
width of the roller frame is adapted by the spreader system to the
desired trench width.
Here we see the open section of the
soldier with its broad and firm contact face on which the frame rests.
Because of this design the soldiers cannot rotate about their vertical
axes.
A right to right angles.
The mobile frame accurately ensures right angles in the trench.
Everything is linearly aligned, always at exactly the same distance from
the opposite side. In all phases of construction. That is the key to
success. Because this means you can work more efficiently, faster and to
a higher standard of quality whilst at the same time cutting costs
appreciably.
On conventional shoring systems, the
spreaders which inevitably have to be attached at the top edge of the
shoring panels make particularly long shovel jibs necessary (orange). No
problem with the height-adjustable mobile frame of the linear shoring
system (red). The angle of the struts when lowering conventional shoring
systems causes horizontal displacement of the panels. The result is
changes in the trench width. Linear shoring, by contrast, ensures an
unchanging trench width.
Linear shoring stays right on line.
The problem associated with other shoring
systems, that of the trench becoming a few centimetres narrower or wider
when soldiers are lowered or lifted, has been eliminated. There are no
cavities between the earth and the trench panels.
No vibrations.
There is a permanent frictional bond between the soil and the shoring.
This prevents subsidence. The soil cannot settle during installation or
extraction. The system operates vibration-free because there is no
wedging, jamming or clamping. There is no horizontal displacement of
soil and everything outside the trench stays as it was. The whole
operation runs incredibly smoothly. During installation and extraction.
Even when it comes to the soldier design the
linear shoring from E + S has made new advancements. For the first time
ever it is now possible to swing shoring panels into position from the
sides. With other systems the panels have to be inserted in a
complicated procedure from above.
In principle simple, yet highly
effective: Swinging shoring panels into position from the side. This
swinging principle applies both to the inner and outer panels.
Tall panels can now be fitted in spite of overhead
cables.
Because the shoring panels are swung at ground level from the side into
the soldiers and not lowered from a great height, overhead cables such
as tram contact lines are no longer an obstacle. This represents a huge
step forward in many inner-city applications.
Unparalleled soldier heights for unparalleled
depths.
Another advantage of side placement is that the system permits extremely
long columns. Long soldiers are essential for exceptional depths because
the roller frame has to be lowered to a corresponding level.
Excavators can work unhindered.
On this system the height of the soldiers is no problem for the
excavator because at the start of work its jib only has to reach over
the 2 m high mobile frame fitted at ground level between the soldiers-
and not over a spreader attached to the top. As soon as the mobile frame
is completely in the trench, the next one can be simply inserted from
above.
Successful and safe.
Linear shoring has no trouble complying with the requirements contained
in the safety regulations of the civil engineering trade.
One regulation, for instance, specifies that
struts of shoring systems have to be horizontal in their final fitted
state. With linear shoring, this requirement is met at all stages of the
shoring process.
All clear for different culvert clearances.
With linear shoring you can set different culvert clearances with
complete ease. And without any of the effort associated with individual
struts. The mobile frame is simply shifted vertically -to any desired
depth.
Advantages that count.
Linear shoring yields extremely good soil compaction values during
extraction. The overall efficiency of the system particularly in deep
trenches is enhanced even further by the fact that the forces released
during extraction are considerably lower than on most other shoring
systems. And that is an assurance of a high overall pipe-laying
rate.
