The contractor reached out to Icon Equipment to see if a representative would meet with him on site to discuss his shoring options. He had both overhead and underground utility interference that restricted him from using a large excavator; he needed something light-weight so he could use a smaller machine. The Icon representative suggested he use a series of aluminum trench boxes in “T” configuration that would allow him to safely perform the gas main tie-in in a cost effective manner. The Gas company representatives were very pleased with the choice of shoring and satisfied the project was completed ahead of schedule.
