X-90 Trench Shoring

X-90 trench shoring for general civil and subdivision works

Shoring that WorX

X-90 trench shoring systems are designed for everyday civil construction, where greater depth, wider trenches, and increased ground loads require higher capacity without moving into heavy-duty systems.

ShoreWorX medium duty trench shoring delivers certified, site-ready protection for pipe laying, subdivision works, and general trenching — backed by practical support and proven performance on Australian sites.

When to use X-90 Trench Shoring

If your excavation goes beyond shallow service work but doesn’t require deep or high-pressure systems, medium duty shoring is often the right fit. Medium duty trench shoring is best suited for:

  • Trenches deeper than light duty applications
  • General civil and subdivision works
  • Pipe laying and service installation
  • Sites using backhoes and small–mid excavators
  • Projects requiring higher load capacity and wider clearances
