Incoming NAXSA President Kevin Malloy with past President Brian Crandall


Trench Shoring President Named 2022 President of NAXSA Trench Shoring Company President Kevin Malloy was elected as the 2022 president of North American Excavation Shoring Association (NAXSA) at their recent convention in Dallas, TX. NAXSA was created to promote the safe and efficient use


of excavation shoring practices and represents the professions in the shoring industry – from manufacturers, engineers, and rental companies to distributors, suppliers and government agencies. Malloy takes the reins as NAXSA president with strong


credentials as a founding member of NAXSA and president of Trench Shoring Company, one of the leaders in trench shoring and excavation. He said that his vision for NAXSA and the industry center on the core goal of “zero deaths or injuries” in a challenging and growing industry. His focus will also be on continuity: continuing and sup-


porting the work of prior NAXSA President Brian Crandall and NAXSA committees. “Of particular importance will be to launch our participation with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) in their Alliance Program. Our common goal is to leverage resources and expertise to help ensure safe and healthy workplaces and worker rights,” he said. Malloy said he sees growth ahead for the shoring and exca-


vation industry, citing the $1 trillion infrastructure bill passed in 2021 which will fund and create jobs across the country needed to fix crumbling bridges and roads, upgrade airports, ports and waterways, improve power and water systems, and expand broadband access.
