1/15/2014
General Guidelines

1. Panels control the system only.

- Keep panel level.


- Never try to straight up the posts.
- The posts will straight up (aplomb) by:
a) Pit: leveling adjacent panels on either side of the corner post only.
b) Trench: leveling the panels on either side of the trench and the horizontal strut of
the strutting assembly.

2. Panels lead and guide the posts - Not the other way around.

- Push panels normally 1 to 2 ft (max. 3 ft) ahead of the post.


- Afterward, push the posts so that its lower tip is even to the bottom of panel.

2. Depending on soil conditions:

- stiff or hard soils: keep excavation 3 ft to 4 ft ahead of shoring, dig beneath shoring;
- soft to medium stiff soils: keep excavation 1 ft to 2 ft ahead of the shoring;
- poor soils: keep shoring even to excavation.

I-Trench Application

- Keep level the panel and horizontal strut of the Sliding Strut Assembly.
- Push down and keep Sliding Strut Assembly at the lower tips of the linear post.
When the lower strut of the Sliding Strut Assembly is close to the clearance required
to the finished grade, stop pushing it but continue pushing the linear post only.
- Do not keep the Sliding Strut Assembly far behind the lower tip of the linear post.
- Do not leave the panel more than 2.5 ft ahead of the linear posts.

II-Pit Application

- Square the pit by checking both diagonals. If the diagonals are not equal then the pit
has to be squared by equalizing the diagonals.
- Before checking the diagonals, make sure that panels are level.
