In the world of excavation and pipe-laying projects, efficiency and safety go hand in hand. Trench Control, a trusted provider of excavation safety solutions, offers Drag Boxes designed to simplify pipe installation while keeping operatives safe. These innovative tools are a game-changer for projects in open field environments.
What Are Drag Boxes?
Drag boxes are large, robust protective shields that allow operatives to safely lay pipes within their confines. As the excavation progresses, the drag box is pulled along the trench line by an excavator, enabling a seamless and continuous pipe-laying process. This practical approach minimizes interruptions and enhances project efficiency.
Drag boxes are particularly suited for open-field situations with stable ground conditions. They excel in environments where there is no need for active support of trench sides, making them a practical choice for many construction and civil engineering projects.
