In trenching and civil works, compliance isn’t a checkbox — it’s a duty. Whether you’re planning, signing off, or digging in, afety and structural integrity need to be guaranteed. That’s why ASC Shoring delivers engineered systems that meet Australian codes, satisfy WHS obligations, and perform without compromise — job after job.

Built by Contractors, for Contractors.

ASC was built by contractors who live the risks of deep trenching — not just in theory, but in the mud. We have and continue to lay sewer mains at depth, under pressure, and with lives on the line. That frontline experience shapes our approach: equipment that isn’t just engineered, but proven — designed to protect workers, meet certification, and outperform in field conditions.

Certified to Structural Standards — and Proven in the Field

All ASC trench systems are independently certified to meet or exceed the following Australian structural codes:

• AS1170.0 & AS1170.1: Structural actions and loading combinations
• AS4100: Steel structures framework, adapted for modern trench box systems

Each trench shield — whether single or multi-stack — is reviewed and stamped by a Registered Professional Engineer and delivered with:

• Load and lateral pressure certification (kPa)
• Approved trench depth limits
• Surcharge and traffic load ratings
• Soil and groundwater compatibility conditions

We don’t rely on outdated or steel-only standards. Every alloy and steel unit is certified using modern limit-state design — not guesswork or legacy assumptions.
