Our Overlapping FKD 400/6 Trench Sheets provide robust support for the vertical faces of small to medium-sized trenches and excavations, suitable for depths between 1m and 9m. These sheets enhance stability and safety during temporary excavation and construction work. Compliant with BS EN 10249-1:1996 and BS EN 10249-2:1996 standards, each sheet has an effective width of 400mm and is available in various lengths to accommodate diverse project requirements.
The FKD 400/6 trench sheets are designed for ease of handling and installation. They can be efficiently driven into the ground using an excavator’s bucket, with two handling holes included as standard to facilitate straightforward manipulation and positioning. Compatible with a wide range of shoring products, these sheets are ideally suited for various shoring products, ensuring optimal alignment and performance tailored to each project’s unique environmental and structural challenges.
