Efficient excavation site safety for civil engineering, infrastructure, and structural engineering

HYDRAULIC SHORING AND BRACING SYSTEM FOR SAFE EXCAVATIONS

With our hydraulic bracing and reinforcement system, we at terra Infrastructure offer an innovative solution for the safe and economical reinforcement of excavation pits in civil engineering, infrastructure, and structural engineering projects. Developed in accordance with DIN EN 14563, our system connects the highest safety standards with maximum flexibility and sustainable reusability.

Thanks to its modular design, the system can be quickly adapted to different excavation geometries and site conditions. The hydraulic adjustment allows for precise adaptation directly on-site and significantly reduces installation time and material costs.

A key safety feature of our system: All hydraulic components come standard with a mechanical fail-safe. Even when not required, this feature provides additional safety during operation and ensures that the components continue to function properly even in the event of a hydraulic pressure loss.

In addition, the hydraulic bracing systems can be suspended from Chains in accordance with DIN EN 14563. As a result, the use of welded brackets on Sheet piles is often not necessary, which significantly reduces installation effort and provides additional flexibility on the site.

ADVANTAGES OF OUR HYDRALIC BRACING AND REINFORCEMENT SYSTEM

Our system was developed specifically for modern construction sites where efficiency, safety, and sustainability are key priorities.

Your benefits at a glance
• Faster installation and removal compared to traditional steel bracing and reinforcements
• Modular system for maximum adaptability and sustainable use
• Hydraulic adjustment for precise adaptation to excavation pits
• Bracing bearing capacity of up to 2,500 kN
• Bracing spans of up to 14.5 m (theoretically up to 24 m)
• Installation with little or no welding required
• Bracing can be suspended using Chains—brackets are often not required
• Mechanical fail-safe protection for all hydraulic components
• Reusable system for sustainable construction processes
• Technical planning and structural analysis from a single source

The combination of hydraulic struts and modular bracing creates a high-performance excavation bracing system that optimally meets the requirements of modern infrastructure projects.

HYDRAULIC STRAPPING - 305 UC SERIES

Flexible Solution for Excavation Shoring

The hydraulic struts of the 305 UC series form the central element of our excavation shoring and bracing system and allow for flexible adaptation to a wide variety of excavation shapes.

Thanks to its modular design, bracing elements ranging from 0.5 to 6 meters in length can be combined. The hydraulic stroke of the cylinders, approximately 600 mm, ensures precise adaptation to the specific excavation geometry.

With a bearing capacity of up to 600 kN (approx. 60 metric tons), the hydraulic bracing offers high performance for a wide variety of applications in civil engineering and infrastructure construction.

The individual elements are assembled using bolted and thread fittings, which generally eliminates the need for time-consuming welding work. This allows both the installation and dismantling of the excavation shoring to be carried out particularly quickly and efficiently.

A particular advantage of our system: The extension elements of the 305 UC series feature integrated cleats. This allows diagonal braces to be connected directly without requiring additional welding work. This reduces installation effort and increases flexibility during reinforcement of the excavation.

Technical Specifications of the 305 UC Series
• Bearing capacity: 600 kN / 60 t
• Hydraulic adjustment range: approx. 600 mm
• Modular element lengths: 0.5 m to 6 m
• Linkage via bolt and screw systems
• Integrated cleats on extensions for diagonal braces
• Standard mechanical fail-safe

Typical Applications
• Excavation pits in civil engineering
• Infrastructure projects
• Sewer and pipeline construction
• Civil engineering
• Special civil engineering

HYDRAULIC BRACES - HIGH BEARING CAPACITY AND LONG SPANS

Our 400 Series hydraulic bracing systems provide the necessary stability within the excavation pit. Thanks to their symmetrical design, they achieve a significantly higher bearing capacity than traditional steel beams.

With a design resistance of up to 2,500 kN, these bracing systems are particularly well-suited for excavation pits with large spans. At the same time, they can be flexibly installed horizontally, diagonally, or upright.

Hydraulic adjustment allows for quick adaptation to the specific conditions at the site and significantly reduces installation effort.

Thanks to their special geometry, our hydraulic bracing systems represent an economical alternative to traditional bracing systems made of steel beams or tubular bracing, which often require oversized dimensions due to the need for buckling resistance.

Technical Highlights

• Bearing capacity up to 2,500 kN
• Spans up to 14.5 m (max. 24 m possible)
• Modular design with elements ranging from 0.25 m to 10 m
• Hydraulic adjustment of approx. 0.8 m
• Alternative to traditional pipe struts

A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION FOR MODERN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Our hydraulic bracing and shoring system for excavation pits is consistently designed with sustainability and resource efficiency in mind.

Since all components are reusable, we significantly reduce material consumption. At the same time, the modular design allows for flexible use on various sites.

This results in:

• less material waste

• lower transportation costs due to standardized transport lengths

• more efficient construction processes

• sustainable construction practices in civil engineering
