ESC Trench Shoring Inc., – Trench Shields, Trench Shoring Solutions

Construction projects keep coming in larger and more complex packages while statutory restrictions, especially safety, are getting rightfully more focused and developed with the help of OSHA and others.
Timetables are also becoming more inflexible and constantly compressed in efforts to reduce costs. These constraints create conflict and heighten the challenge of maintaining a safe but productive working environment.
ESC’s world-wide recognition is sustained by its experience and product contributions in excavation and trench safety. The challenge therefore is how to build better, safer, and faster?
ESC has fully developed its Trench Shield Series (also known as Trench Boxes) a two-sided, high-quality and economical excavation support system that provides a safe working environment in trenches up to 40 feet deep. Produced in the United States of America and the United Arab Emirates presently.
