Trench Shoring Company is proud to participate with NAXSA in “Shore Up for Safety Week” May 1 – 5, 2023. Shore Up for Safety is a nationwide mobilization of members and colleagues as lifesavers, promoting safety awareness and training through hands-on activities. The goal is to focus a full work week on reaching as many companies and workers as possible with critical information about the proper use of shoring systems – and to engage them in OSHA’s Subpart P to achieve NAXSA’s target of zero deaths and injuries. If you would like more information about a Shore Up for Safety Event, please contact your Trench Shoring Representative.

Ten years ago, on October 14, 2012, the space shuttle Endeavour arrived at the California Science Center to begin its new mission as a museum exhibit. We are proud of our participation in the historic project to move the shuttle from LAX to Exposition Park.

Trench Shoring provided and delivered all of the plates and Dunkel Bros. concentrated on the placement. We provided more than 1,000 trench plates, which is the equivalent of 95,000 square feet or around two acres of surface area. Dunkel Bros. placed the plates as they were being delivered; because leaving stacks of trench plates overnight was prohibited. In all there was around 110 truckloads of plates and other material to deliver and the same amount to pickup later. Dropping off the material took us around eight days, while the pickup was accomplished in half that time. We fulfilled the entire order with our existing inventory by coordinating with all of Southern California locations, as well as our branch in Las Vegas. We delivered to several predetermined locations, which required lane closures from 6:30 am to 2:00 pm. The plates were available in various sizes, from 8’x10’ to 8’x20’ and anywhere from 3,200 lbs to 6,500 lbs. each. This was a great team effort by everyone involved.

Enjoy the pictures of this historic project: "Space Shuttle Endeavour's L.A. Street Parade."
