1 day shoring to meet OSHA.
(OP)
I have a situation where we need to dig a 15' Deep trench for a 10' dia. x 60' long water tank. The trench only needs to be open for about 1 day. OSHA requires us to shore the trench or layer it back. Is there an easy and cost effective solution shoring the trench. The solution can bend, but it cannot break. Assume 1. We cannot layer back the slopes, 2. We have no room to tieback the top. Any suggestions? Thank you.

The process is described below and doesn't sound cheap or fast.
"Pipes would first be installed using directional drilling at an angle ... Then, super-chilled salt water would be continuously pumped and recycled back through the pipes to freeze a four-foot thick layer of the soil beneath and on the sides of the pits..."

Leaving something open to the air to freeze a bit of it is ridiculous, and never an approved method that I have seen.
