SMARTSHORE : pneumatic protection shield

An easy and quick setting for your teams

In France 75% of accidents are due to inappropriate & inefficient shoring device. In France, during the last 14 years, 117 accidents caused by landslide and burial have been identified thanks to the national basis.

Most of the victims died as a result of their injuries, known as “Bywater syndrome”. It can be described as muscle compression, causing toxins in body, leading to kidney and cardiac failure.

Not to worry about ! - WRONG. How to be sure about shoring efficiency ? Few operators were buried when working in trenches, bad weather or any vibrations due to working environment can potentially be the cause of landslide.

Only certainty: 100 % of the accidents have occurred in trenches “that holds” !

It's not deep, nothing to fear ! - WRONG. At what height an excavation needs to be protected ? Over a 10 years period, 7% of fatal accidents occurred at 1.30 M underground. Due to working attitude, operators attention is not focused on any potential risks of landslide and consequently not prepared to face with.

It's wide, don't worry ! - WRONG. Is it because the excavation is wide enough that it doesn’t not require any shoring protection ? More than 10% of fatal accidents happened when the width is greater that 2 thirds of the height of the excavation. Having a wide excavation should not give any impression of working in a safe environment.
