Trenchfrom vs. Traditional Precast Units

Trenchform L Block Modular Trenching Solutions are engineered to cut time & cost associated with traditional cable trenching and precast concrete systems.

Trenchform Modular System
Benefits

• Low comparative costs
• Hollow units weigh 30kg
• Transport costs to site reduced
  due to low weight units
• Two man lift
• Low OHS risk category
  Weight is compliant with Australian
  Occupational Health & Safety
• No crane lifts required
• Easier access to tight areas
• Compact onsite storage
• Low carbon required for construction
• Ability to forecast and complete projects on time

For example;
In order to place a 10m run of Trenchform units, it could take between 2-10 hrs with 2 men working on the area.

This method makes larger and more demanding projects much more achievable in shorter amounts of time.

Traditional Precast Units
Problems

• High costs of precast
• Costly transport to site
  due to weight
• Unnecessary man hours
• Access issues for heavy machinery
• Unnecessary downtime
  in between lifts and availability of cranes
• Mobile cranes are limited
  by their availability and ability

For example;
In order to place a 10m run of traditional precast units, it could take between 5-20 hrs with 4-10 men working on the area.

For an area the size of a football field there may be 300-1000 units required to be placed. The traditional process can take months or even years to achieve deadlines.
