Trench Sheets for Wiltshire Ground Conditions
Oxford Clay from Melksham through Trowbridge and Chippenham is heavy when dry but slumps when waterlogged. Alluvial ground along the River Avon and Kennet and Avon Canal is soft and variable.
For longer drainage runs, install progressively. Dig, sheet, work, backfill, recover and move forward.
Installing Trench Sheets Safely
Drive or place sheets as you excavate. Never dig full depth then install. Sheets must extend above ground level. For larger quantities, delivery is more practical than collection.

Frequently Asked Questions: Trench Sheet Hire in Melksham and Wiltshire
How many sheets?
Depends on trench length and depth. Call us with dimensions.
Sheets without props?
No. Sheets hold the face, while props hold the sheets apart. You need both.
Can I collect?
Yes, but sheets are bulky. Delivery is usually more practical. Call 01380 828988.
When might trench sheets be needed for an excavation?
Trench sheets may be required where the sides of an excavation could collapse or where nearby ground, structures or services need additional support. The decision should be based on factors such as soil conditions, groundwater, trench depth, nearby traffic and loads placed close to the edge, not depth alone. The Temporary Works Forum provides practical examples of excavation and ground-support methods, including sheet installation and trench-support systems. Once the support requirements have been assessed, Coppard’s Melksham team can supply suitable trench sheets in the sizes and quantities needed for the job.
