BD500 Trench Sheets

BD500 trench sheets are high-yield steel, overlapping profiles designed to support medium-to-heavy excavations where a high strength-to-weight ratio is required without stepping up to fully interlocking piles.

BD500 sheets provide a robust temporary or permanent earthworks retention solution. With a 6.0mm thickness and an effective width of 495mm, they bridge the gap between lightweight standard sheets and heavier interlocking profiles.

They are ideal for small-to-medium groundworks, including utility trenches, sewerage installations, basement excavations, and foundation works. Their overlapping profile makes them quick and easy to handle, pitch, and drive using conventional site equipment. They are fully compatible with standard light-duty drive caps and extractors.

Overlapping vs Interlocking

Because BD500 sheets have a lapped (overlapping) profile, they do not provide the watertight seal of a fully interlocking sheet. If running sand or significant groundwater ingress is a concern on your site, we strongly recommend upgrading to an interlocking profile such as the SEI sheet.
