Side support (S3.4)

S3.4.1
The sides of excavations in soft or loose ground must be provided with a side support system in most cases. The support system must be designed and installed to restrain lateral movement of the walls and should be installed without delay.
S3.4.2
Supports must be progressively withdrawn as backfilling and compaction progresses, and all voids carefully filled.
