A hydraulic aluminum shield is an extremely versatile shoring device, as it can be used in the same manner as a conventional steel trench box while adding a hydraulic dimension for proactive soil support.  Hydraulic aluminum shields are of moderate weight, thus reducing the need for heavy machinery specifically for the installation of the system. 

Hydraulic aluminum shields are available in a variety of sizes ranging from 6 feet x 6 feet shields to 8 feet x 14 feet shields with lateral widths ranging from approximately 26 inches to 92 inches. 

Typical applications for hydraulic aluminum shoring shields include spot repairs, tie-ins, leaks and emergency repairs.
