ICON is known as the original pioneer of this type of shoring system in the U.S.A. ICON’s slide rail shoring systems are made of high yield, Grade 50 steel and are comprised of lineal panels, rails or posts and bracing that enable the contractor to install 2, 3 and 4 sided pits and trenches for a variety of excavations and different soil conditions. ICON manufactures and rents slide rails in either a single, double or triple rail design with a choice of Roller Rail Frames (Struts) or Fixed Position Braces for the contractor.

“Dig and Push” method of installation eliminates the need for vibratory hammers, increases production by 50% and decreases labor by 30% to 40% on average versus conventional sheeting.

ICON offers the most advanced line of trench shielding products available anywhere through Speed Shore Corporation. Our shields are built to last and designed by a Registered Professional Engineer to optimize strength-to-weight ratios while maintaining minimal sidewall thickness.

ICON offers our customer the most advanced line of lightweight aluminum shoring products in the world with the ICON-O-LITE modular aluminum trench box system. Our ICON-O-LITE system is designed and manufactured by ICON and certified by a Registered Professional Engineer to meet the highest quality and utmost strength with an ultra lightweight design. The system is comprised of modular panels, corners, vertical rails, spreaders and the only specially designed steel pullbar in the industry.

ICON offers lightweight aluminum hydraulic shoring as one of the safest, most versatile means and methods of shoring even the most difficult excavation. Typically one worker can safely and effectively shore a trench as quickly as it is excavated, allowing the excavator to operate at full digging capacity. Active preloading of trench walls maintains the vertical trench sides, preventing soil from moving or collapsing inward.

Composite material mats are a great solution for any project and a large variety of applications. These mats are often used on civil construction sites in gas, oilfields and drilling projects or for temporary haul roads and access. Composite mats can offer outstanding excellent protection for the ground from chemical spills. These mats are superior when working in environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands, beaches, river banks or sand, marshy and muddy surfaces, and more. Mats are constructed solid or hollow and are connected at flanges with steel bolts. Use of these mats eliminates frequent problems found with timber mats, such as rot, insect infestation, warping, and board breakage. Composite material mats last far longer than the best wood mats. Composite mats do not take on liquid or water weight so will stay strong and durable in the wettest weather.

The surface textures of composite mats are designed for protection against slips with better traction for both workers and machines, composite is non-conductive and will avoid issues with static electricity.

Steel Road Plates are used by almost every utility and construction company around the world for covering trenches, protecting roadways or used in a vertical shoring application such as H-Beam and Plate. ICON rents, sells and services 32,000 square feet of steel road plate and our inventory is growing every year. Our engineering department can provide P.E. stamped drawings and calculations for H-20 traffic loading as well as bridge decking designs for custom projects.
