In many construction projects, particularly those involving deep excavations or substructure works, maintaining a secure and stable excavation area is essential. Cofferdams provide temporary support to surrounding soil, preventing collapse and ensuring safe access for workers and equipment. Typically formed using interlocking steel sheet piles supported by internal bracing systems, they create a controlled environment for construction below ground level.

Mabey Hire offers a full range of cofferdam solutions engineered to suit projects of varying scale and complexity — from manhole braces and small excavations to large multi-level bracing systems. Our modular designs deliver strength, versatility, and ease of installation, supporting efficient construction while maintaining safety and structural integrity.

Working in close collaboration with our clients, we design and supply bespoke or standardised cofferdam systems to meet specific site and ground conditions. For routine and low-risk excavations, our pre-engineered MyConstruct Standard Solutions packages provide a fast and reliable way to access proven cofferdam designs.
