Underground work runs to tight schedules. We keep shields in stock, deliver when we say we will, and respond fast when your scope changes.

Trench collapses hurt people

You know it, we know it, and that knowledge weighs heavy when you send crews below ground level. Guardian supplies the shields,
the training and the documentation to help you meet your obligations — so the gear is never the reason something goes wrong.

What our clients say

Cambridge Construction Company wishes they had invested in a Guardian trench shield earlier. To solve the issue, CCC purchased a 5m x 2.4m Guardian trench shield and battered the wall to ensure worker safety.

Would I recommend them? Absolutely. We’ve got six sets running full time and they’re doing the job. — Alistair, Shaw Civil (on Guardian loading ramps)

Alistair | Shaw Civil

The thing I like most about the shields is that they’re lightweight. My team manoeuvred the 5m shields easily using a smaller, less expensive machine on site.

Grant Hollows | Higgins

The Modular Manhole boxes are very easy to put together, we have used different sizes now, on different jobs and they are light weight so we don’t have to use a massive digger. They also pack down flat making it easy to transport around and store on site.
