Engineered Trench Guard
Product Description
Our RubberForm Engineered Trench Guard (ETG) provides side protection for precast concrete utility trench systems, like the Plastibeton® Channel System cable trench housing electric, cable, conduit, pipe, gas, or water lines. These cable trenches are made to endure vehicle traffic, including heavy commercial vehicles and snowplows.
Made from 100% American recycled composite material, our ETG curb can withstand heavy vehicle traffic and all the searing heat and frigid cold the North American climate can throw at it without cracking, crumbling, spalling, or corroding.
Specifications:
- 18 lbs per curb
- 6”H x 6”W x 36’L
- 3-foot sections
- 3 mounting holes per curb
- Plain Black or optional Plain Black with White or Yellow stripe
- Will not chip, crack, crumble, or spall
- Made in the USA with 100% recycled composite material
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.
