4-Sided and Multiple Bay Systems

What is a Slide Rail Shoring System?

The GME|E+S Slide Rail Shoring System is a durable, modular, dig and push style component shoring system that allows users to push the system in place while digging the excavation to depth. Designed with the contractor in mind, the components of our Slide Rail System allow contractors to use lighter, more common machines during installation and removal than those that would be required to do the same project using tight sheeting or trench shields.

Why Use Slide Rail?

The GME|E+S Slide Rail Shoring System is engineered to keep workers safe and save contractors time and money. When compared to traditional tight sheeting, sloping or complex trench shield assemblies, a properly engineered Slide Rail Shoring System has a number of advantages such as the ones listed here.

Controls ground subsidence
Provides more clearance than standard trench shields
Minimizing site restoration cost
Enables smaller, common size excavators
Decreases the overall installation and removal time of the system

Where to use Slide Rail?

With its modular, flexible, component design, the GME|E+S Slide Rail Shoring system is versatile enough to be used on a variety of job sites. These include:

Tank installations
Bore pits
Pump stations
Cast-in-place
Linear pipeline runs
Restricted areas (downtown’s, industrial sites)
Poor soil conditions
Vibration sensitive areas (near hospitals, adjacent buildings)
Near rail roads
Soil remediation
And many more…

Advantages of the GME|E+S Slide Rail Shoring System:

Slide pivot clamping
Use of smaller excavators
Several magnitudes of faster installation and faster removal
Certified by a Registered Professional Engineer to meet OSHA regulations
Avoids tight sheeting systems – GME is 1/2 the cost
Fewer workers required for slide rail installs

4-Sided

Providing complete protection on all sides, the GME/E+S Slide Rail system is able to provide 4-sided protection using existing panels and corner rails. 4-sided applications include; Setting manholes and small lift stations

Multiple Bay

A variation of the 4-sided application is a multiple bay system. Still providing complete protection on all sides, a multiple bay system uses the Slide Rail Panel, Corner Rail and the Linear Rails. Multiple Bay system are becoming more and more popular and needed. Ideal for the removal and installation of underground fuel tanks, cast-in-place projects, as well as boring and receiving pits.
