Product Description

Precast concrete trenches are a fantastic innovation to protect power, water, and gas infrastructure without inconveniencing foot and vehicle traffic. The traditional method of securing or protecting these trenches is concrete. It’s a pain to install, a bigger pain to maintain, and requires demolition to remove or replace later.

Our RubberForm Engineered Trench Guard (ETG) is simple to install and just as easy to remove or replace. Each section can be spiked with rebar or anchored with  flowable fill concrete, also known as Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM), depending on the surface material. Our 100% American recycled composite material won’t chip, warp, or spall in any heat, cold, rain, ice, or snow. We can also custom engineer our ETG to fit your specific requirements.

FREQUENTLY ASKED

Are your engineered trench guards truly made in the USA?

We are the only true U.S. manufacturer of recycled engineered trench guards. We source all our recycled materials domestically, which means we're helping clean up our backyard. We also design and manufacture all our products right here in Western New York, because we believe in American ingenuity and hardworking American hands.

How do I anchor your engineered trench guard?

We offer a lag bolt anchor mounting system consisting of a lag bolt, plastic lag shield, and washer to anchor into pavement or concrete. There are 3 anchor holes for each ETG section. For installing the ETG on dirt, gravel, or flowable fill concrete, we offer forged spikes for mounting.

What happens if one of the trench guard sections breaks?

Our Engineered Trench Guard is made from 100% recycled composite material. It won't chip, crack, crumble, or corrode in the heat, cold, or heavy traffic. If you somehow still manage to break a section, that's no problem, our ETG is fully modular. Just remove the broken piece and install a replacement. If you need replacement sections, just call us to place an order.
