The Icon Group

The ICON Vision: We will revolutionize the trench shoring industry by achieving new benchmarks of quality that exceed current industry standards through creativity, teamwork, and partnerships. History: In 1980, Brian Crandall managed a heavy highway construction company that installed water and sewer lines in New York City. They used conventional shoring methods which resulted in high costs of labor and time. Searching for alternatives, Brian visited projects in Germany and discovered a German shoring system called “Slide Rails”. The new system reduced total shoring costs by 40% over conventional sheeting for water and sewer lines, and it was obvious that there were many more applications for this equipment.
