Trench stability is affected by a number of factors such as: · improper use or installation of support system or trench box · soil type and moisture content · weather · vibration · depth of the trench · length of time the trench is left open · surcharge (excessive weight near the trench) · adjacent buildings and structures · existing foundations, and · previous excavations or soil disturbances.
