EAW (Engineered Aluminium Works) is the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) of EAW Trench Shields in Australia. The owners were established civil and drainage contractors and ground workers, specialising in the supply of reticulated sewers to country towns and working in existing backyards and restricted locations. They saw the need for an ultra-light shoring system to suit the new range of mini excavators coming onto the market, and developed the lightweight trench shoring system that became EAW Trench Shield.
We can advise on the choice of trench shields for your particular project, and if you would prefer to hire we will help you find the closest hire company that stocks EAW Trench Shield products.
One of the benefits of choosing EAW is that we will customise the shoring to your requirements. The continuing development of the product makes it the leader in lightweight shoring, with a higher strength to weight ratio than comparable steel shoring.
EAW aluminium trench shields are in many cases structurally stronger than steel when it comes to the working loads of a trench collapse. EAW trench shields are certified to meet Australian and New Zealand standards.
We can work with anyone to develop or modify any of our products to meet your specific needs.
