Trench plates
Steel trench plate rental
Recessed steel trench plates for utility and road work. We grind the asphalt so the plates sit flush, and cars and people keep moving over the trench.
Where plates go
-
Utility trenches
Cover an open trench for water, sewer, power or other lines so traffic can cross it.
-
Road work
Keep a lane or a crossing open while the work under it goes on.
-
Sidewalks and driveways
Keep a walkway or a driveway usable while the trench is open.
Set flush with the road
A plate laid on top of the pavement leaves an edge to drive or trip over. We grind the asphalt around the trench so the plate sits down in the road, level with the surface around it.
Our plates on the job
Plates across a sidewalk and into the street, painted white with yellow stripes. 
Two plates side by side in a city sidewalk, with fresh asphalt around the edges.
