Ways to make an excavation safer: Shoring, benching, banking, piling and/or trench boxes. Oh and doing sod all, 'cause it's less effort

This is the major stronghold for one side or other (the defending side - doh!). It is polystyrene walls on hardboard with a coating of wickes filler. There are dragons teeth (same construction) around the base. These keep breaking, so I keep PVAing them back.















Once again, these are old pictures (maybe a year or so). The base has been covered with PVA and sand and the whole thing painted grey.

It doesn't have a roof. I'll do one with aegis walls around the edge or something.
Moving on once more, Last night I went out with AP to "The Kentish Rifleman" for dinner. http://rifleman.ultimatetech.co.uk/ So was limited to eight DE warriors and the pilot and darklance bloke on three (unmanned) Raiders. Looking forward to doing the Ravagers.

    The comprehensive breakdown of methods such as shoring, benching, banking, piling, and trench boxes underscores the gravity of ensuring a secure work environment. The humor injected with the phrase 'doing sod all, 'cause it's less effort' adds a touch of levity to the serious topic, making it both informative and engaging. A well-crafted piece that not only educates but also entertains – a commendable combination. Here's to promoting safety in excavations with a dose of wit! -Beatriz Barata
