Underground Safety Equipment provides solutions that make construction work safer, more productive, and more profitable. This Slope Calculator is a handy, easy-to-use tool that compares the “pros and cons” of sloping an excavation versus using shoring and shielding equipment. Simply enter the Soil Type you will be are working in —Type A, B, or C — along with the dimensions of your excavation to see the calculated results, AND a drawing to guide you and your crews.
