I work in this industry and can say that this is 100% avoidable every single time….the contractor seems negligent though, the area around the trench is worthy of some OSHA violations without a doubt, and the top of the shoring should always extend 18” above the trench….very sad situation

[@bradr2142]

What happened to a 2 to1 cut slope then went to the shoring boxes. Double stacked at 20 ft. Deep.

[@JoseRivera-ux6uy]

You mean 18 inch above the trench? Because I algo work doing this but normally nobody does it like that.

[@Landonmoto39]
