Occupational safety and general remarks according to DIN EN
13331-1/2
Lifting, handling, pulling, dragging
Measures to reduce hazards
Handling should be carried out as close to the ground as possible.
Slings (chain type and thickness, load hooks) must be chosen to suit the weight being
handled (e.g. trench box or slide rail).
To prevent the accidental detachment of the load during lifting, pulling or handling, only
load hooks with safety catches may be used.
Particularly when pulling loads, the pulling forces defined in section 7.4.16 in DIN EN
13331/1 must be observed.
The load must be slung in such a way that the shoring is in a horizontal position and
swinging during handling is reduced to a minimum.
The shoring must be lowered onto level and firm ground.
It is prohibited to stand within the pivoting range of the excavator/crane and beneath
suspended loads.
A load operator may only stand to the front left of the excavator, in constant eye contact
with the machine operator.
It is always prohibited to stand within the danger zone.
Observe the industrial safety ordinance and the accident prevention regulations for
lifting gear.
The safety of vehicles and persons on site must be ensured with the aid of cones,
warning tape or safety staff specially deployed for this purpose.
The construction site should be sufficiently marked as such with the aid of warning
signs, for instance.
The risk of instability as a consequence of wind loads when setting up the shoring on
the edge of the trench must be considered.
The shoring should be secured against accidental impacts and set up in a sufficiently
stable position (sufficient width and firm ground).
When handling, installing and removing shoring, watch out for overhead power cables.
On sloping or uneven ground, the shoring should be set up if possible at right angles to
the slope.

Reasons for taking parts out of service and instructions for repair
Before use, all shoring components must be checked for
their correct function.
Reasons for taking worn or damaged parts out of service
include:
• Missing parts, such as nuts, screws, posts, pins and
stabilizers.
• Broken parts such as spindles, pins and spreader
systems in general.
• If parts are severely deformed or misshapen or if there
are holes in panel bodies, for instance, the
manufacturer should be consulted in cases of doubt.
• In all cases of doubt, always consult the manufacturer.
Procedure in the event of an accident
Faulty parts must be replaced or repaired.
Minor repairs can be carried out by the user, after
consultation with the manufacturer.
Only original replacement parts from the manufacturer may
be used.
There is no warranty on incorrectly performed repairs and
the use of non-original parts.
The requirements of the industrial safety ordinance apply.
In the event of an accident, casualties must be given first aid immediately.
The scene of the accident must be cordoned off and left unchanged.
If the injured person is expected to be unfit for work, an accident insurance doctor must
be consulted.
All accidents must be reported immediately to the superior or his deputy.
The accident must be entered in the accident record book.
The currently valid versions of the following documents apply:
• Provisions of the Civil Engineering Committee of the Accident Insurance Institution
• DIN 4124 "Baugruben und Gräben" (pits and trenches)
• DIN EN 13331, Part 1: Product Specifications, Part 2: Assessment by Calculation or Test
• General safety instructions and the relevant industrial safety ordinances
Our products bear the "Geprüfte Sicherheit" (GS) quality seal.
During installation, the instructions contained in the manufacturer's manual must be referred to and observed.

(1) Two slide rails EG PV
(2) Two roller units
(3) Two spacer bars
By using lifting gear and a suitable sling (GS-approved),
slide a roller unit into each of the slide rails EG PV.
Secure the roller unit in the slide rail EG PV by inserting the
pins (4) and (5) into the envisaged holes (see detail X) at
the top and bottom of the rail, above and below the roller
unit. After insertion the pin must be turned through 180°.

4. Fitting the spacer bars
5. Assembly of the complete guide frame
The pre-assembled combinations of spacer bars (3)
required for the desired trench width are aligned with the
bolting plates of the roller units and bolted with the required
number of bolts as per piece list. To facilitate alignment of
the spacer bars during the next assembly step, the bolts
are only loosely fastened.
The slide rail EG PV prefitted with the roller units and
spacer bars is pivoted over the second soldier so that the
roller units and spacer bars can be bolted together.
After assembly, the guide frame is laid flat on the
ground.
All screw joints must be tightened firmly.
For large trench widths, the complete guide frame should be assembled on its side. To this end, the two roller units inserted
into the slide rails must be prefitted with spacer bars of about the same length. After preassembly, the two slide rails are laid
side by side on the ground so that the spacer bars can be bolted together.
To create a shoring unit, two fully assembled guide frames are required. For each further shoring unit, an additional guide
frame must be provided.

Installation instructions for single slide-rail shoring EG PV
1. Placing the first guide frame
2. Inserting the base panels
After measurement of the trench line, the initial layer of soil
is excavated for the first shoring unit in accordance with the
project management’s instructions.
Width: Required clear trench width + approx. 0.4 m
Length: Module length + approx. 0.45 m (or inner panel
length + approx. 0.7 m)
Using lifting gear and a suitable sling (GS-approved), the
first guide frame is placed in the centre of the trench axis
and at right angles to the trench line. The bottom end of the
roller unit rests on the pin inserted in the slide rail and its
upward motion is limited by a pin in the guide frame (see
assembly instructions). If necessary, the frame can be
locked plumb (e.g. with the aid of a second set of lifting
gear).
Using lifting gear, the base panels are inserted from above
into the slide rail profile. After insertion, the shoring panels
are lowered to the bottom of the trench.
Before lowering the slide rail frame, always remove the pins
which may have been fitted to set a different vertical pipe
clearance.

Depending on the required trench depth, the top panels (T)
are inserted in the rail guides when the base panels (B)
have been lowered to the trench bottom.
The base and top panels must be joined together with bolts
(5) and spring pins (6).
When the top panels have been inserted, the shoring unit is
lowered to its final depth with advance soil excavation in
accordance with the instructions of the project management
on site.
Here, again, the roller unit must be vertically positioned to
provide the necessary structural strength (pay attention to

Instructions for removing single slide-rail shoring EG PV
Removal, backfilling and compacting
At the end of pipe-laying work, the shoring is removed with
layer-by-layer backfilling and compacting. To this end, the
shoring is extracted step-by-step in accordance with the
instructions of the project manager on site and with the
expert's specifications and the backfilling material returned
to the trench is compacted against the existing soil.
Slings must only be attached to the holes provided.
Support for base of soldier/cast-in-place concrete
1. Inserting the shoring
When laying pipes of large diameter or building cast-in-
place concrete drains/sewers, additional support for the
guide frames at the base of the soldiers is often needed for
reasons of stability.
To this end, the shoring is initially installed in accordance
with the installation instructions (see "Installation
instructions for single slide-rail shoring EG PV", steps 1 to
9) and the bottom of the trench prepared in accordance
with requirements.
Any support for the base of the soldiers depends on the
calculations of structural strength and takes the form of a
spar of steel or reinforced concrete. In the case of cast-in-
place concrete drains/sewers, the bed carrying the drain/-
sewer can be used as the support for the base of the
soldier.
The support for the base of the soldier should have a
contact surface sufficiently large for the soldier.
Proof of structural strength should be provided for the load-
bearing capacity of the support for the base of the soldier.

.
2. Creating support for the base of the soldier
3. Removing the shoring unit
20 Usage instruction single slide-rail shoring EG PV Krings
When support for the base of the soldier has been
provided, the roller unit can be raised to the maximum
permitted vertical pipe clearance for completion of the cast-
in-place concrete structure. In this position, the roller unit
must be secured with chains or pins.
During raising, the roller unit must always be
prevented from sliding out of the top of the soldier (for
pin, see "Assembly instructions for the guide frame for
single slide-rail shoring EG PV", step 3).
If the shoring is also to serve as formwork for a cast-in-
place concrete structure, the open guides of the roller units
in the slide rails must be sealed with sealing panels. In this
way, a continuous smooth surface is created together with
the KRU shoring panels. An intermediate layer (e.g. rigid
foam panels, plastic sheeting) must always be inserted
between the shoring and the cast-in-place wall in order to
ensure smooth removal
.
When the concrete walls have set, the shoring is removed
in the way described in "Instructions for removing single
slide-rail shoring EG PV".

Installation instructions for single slide-rail shoring EG PV with
piling frame KKP KD6 CPS
1. General remarks
For single slide-rail shoring EG PV with piling frame KKP KD6 CPS, sheet piles are guided in piling frame elements. To
make allowance for pipes/cables crossing the trench, particularly in densely built-up inner-city areas, openings can thus be
flexibly provided in the supported and secured trench walls.
2. Placing the first guide frame
3. Placing the piling frame element
After measurement of the trench line, the initial layer of soil
is excavated for the first shoring unit in accordance with the
project management’s instructions.
Width: Required clear trench width + approx. 0.8 m
Length: Module length + approx. 0.45 m
Using lifting gear and a suitable sling (GS-approved), the
first guide frame is placed in the centre of the trench axis
and at right angles to the trench line. The bottom end of the
roller unit rests on the pin secured in the slide rail and its
upward motion is limited by a pin in the guide frame (see
assembly instructions). If necessary, the frame can be
locked plumb (e.g. with the aid of a second set of lifting
gear).
The piling frame element is pivoted from above into the
slide rail.
Before lowering the slide rail frame, always remove the
bottom pin if it has been fitted to set a different vertical pipe
clearance.

When the sheet piles have been inserted in the two
opposite piling frame elements, further soil can be
excavated beneath the slide rails and sheet piles in
accordance with the instructions of project management on
site. The sheet piles and slide rails are pushed or pressed
down in turn. The shoring components must be pressed
and on no account struck or hammered.
The piling frame elements must be fixed in position.
When lowering the shoring system, make absolutely
sure that the roller units are positioned vertically to
provide the required structural strength (pay attention
to length of cantilever).
After exposure of the pipe/cable crossing the trench, Krings
waling girders must be attached on either side of the
shoring in order to provide the required structural strength.
One end of the waling girders is pushed into the open guide
of a slide rail. The slide rail at the other end of the waling
girders must not be lowered to the bottom of the trench
(see adjacent figure). Only at the next stage (step 8) is this
pair of slide rails pushed via the guide profile of the waling
girders resting on the bottom of the trench.
Fitting the waling girders reduces the cantilever length of
the sheet piles and prevents the sheet piles being inwardly
deflected into the trench.

9. Lowering to the final depth
24 Usage instruction single slide-rail shoring EG PV Krings
When the pair of slide rails has been lowered, both ends of
the waling girders rest in the open guides of the slide rails.
The sheet piles are now pressed down. Make sure that the
waling girders and sheet piles are pressed tightly together.
If the waling girders have to be lowered, they must be
prevented from accidentally sliding out of the slide rails,
e.g. with a chain.
With advance soil excavation in accordance with the
instructions of the project management on site, the shoring
unit is lowered to its final depth. Chains (GS-approved) are
used to lock the waling girders at the horizontal level
demanded for reasons of stability. Here, again, the roller
unit must be vertically positioned to provide the necessary
structural strength (pay attention to length of cantilever).

Installation instructions for single slide-rail corner shoring
1. General remarks
Single slide-rail corner shoring is a special shoring method for shaft structures as well as for trench shoring with combined
trench-end units. If used for shaft shoring, special bracing systems can be omitted. All the forces are then discharged via
the shoring panels. With the appropriate guide rails, it can take the form of single or double slide-rail shoring.
By using different panel lengths in pairs, it is possible to realize rectangular pits of various sizes.
2. Installing the base panels
3. Installing the corner rail
30 Usage instruction single slide-rail shoring EG PV Krings
After measurement of the pit, the initial layer of soil is
excavated for the shaft to match the panel lengths used.
The project management’s instructions and the relevant
standards must be observed.
The first shoring panel is lifted with lifting gear and a
suitable sling (GS-approved) into the pit and fixed.
By using a second set of lifting gear, the corner slide rail
can now be slotted in from above.

4. Installing further elements
5. Aligning the shoring
6. Lowering the shoring
All further elements must be installed in the manner already
described.
So that the last wall of shoring can also be installed without
difficulty, the shoring has to be properly aligned. To this
end, it is important here that the horizontal clearance
between the shoring panels is the same at both panel ends;
and that the two diagonal axes of the shoring unit are the
same length.
When the fourth base panel has been installed, the
rectangularity of the shoring must again be checked. Then
the cavity between the soil and shoring panel must be
backfilled and compacted.
Before the lowering process proper, the soil beneath the
shoring panels and slide rails is excavated in accordance
with the project management’s instructions. The slide rails
and shoring panels are pressed down in turn, with special
use being made of pressure beams for the shoring panels.
The shoring components must be pressed and on no
account struck or hammered.

7. Installing the inner top panels
8. Installation example of a trench-end unit
Depending on the required trench depth, the inner top
panels are inserted in the slide rail guides when the inner
base panels have been lowered to the provisional trench
bottom.
The base and top panels must be joined together with pins.
There is no problem combining "single slide-rail shoring EG PV" with "slide-rail corner shoring". This way it is possible to
continuously shore pits and trenches.
