Trench construction, safety: Caterpillar 3128 crawler mounted backhoe straddles trench for underground pipe. Worker in trench is fine grading/cleaning trench with shovel. Workers standing in 8 ft deep trench have no support against sidewall collapse. Safety and laws require the trench walls to be supported or sloped back at depths greater than 5 ft. Michigan 2006

Trench construction/safety: Caterpillar 330CL backhoe/excavator picks up trench shield out of trench and sets it down in horizontal position suitable for it to be picked and transported by forklift. Tucson, Arizona November 2006.

Trench construction/safety: Worker in bottom of trench gives hand signals to operator of backhoe/excavator to guide boom of backhoe into position to pull trench box to next position to the left. Note worker remains within trench box safety, and trench box is accessed by ladder at far end.

Trench construction/safety: Bucket of Caterpillar 330CL excavator/backhoe pulls steel trench shield/box from right to left using short cables between bucket and steel stubs on shield (see bottom center of photo). Tucson, Arizona November 2006.

Trench construction/safety: Caterpillar 938G articulated front end loader transports steel trench shield from one position to another along a trench. Tucson, Arizona November 2006.

Trench construction/safety: Caterpillar 938G articulated wheeled tractor with forklift attachment transports steel trench box/shield from one position to another along a trench. Tucson, Arizona November 2006.

Earthmoving/ trenching construction, safety: Trench shield/box constructed of side walls of double steel plates with hollow core, tapered cutting edges at bottom, and large diameter pipe interior spreaders to resist exterior soil pressures. The width of the shield is determined by length of spreaders, and lengths are easily changed, which makes shield width quite flexible. Trench shield extends from bottom of trench to above top of excavation and protects the workers inside it from possible trench wall cavein. Dark spots on side walls are rain drops on this rainy day. First Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan 2006.

Earthmoving/ trenching construction, safety: Caterpillar 320CL track mounted hydraulic excavator/backhoe excavates a bucket of soil inside trench shield/box. Trench shield extends from bottom of trench to above top of excavation and protects the workers inside it from possible trench wall cavein. Backhoe bucket is sized to fit interior width of shield. Primary excation was by this same backhoe using a wider, larger bucket. Bucket has picked up soil from bottom and is now raising it up to dump into excavation outside the shield. First Street, Ann Arbor, Michigan 2006.
