National Trench Safety Acquires Vellano Shoring and Supply, Expanding Local Presence

Jacksonville's construction and utility sectors are set to see an expanded presence in shoring and trench safety equipment, following the recent acquisition of Vellano Shoring and Supply by National Trench Safety (NTS). The deal, which was finalized earlier this year, brings Vellano's operations under the NTS umbrella, bolstering the services available to contractors across the region.

Vellano Shoring and Supply has been a familiar name in the Jacksonville area for its specialized offerings in trench shoring, shielding, and other excavation safety products. Their local facility, located off Philips Highway in the Southside, will now operate as a National Trench Safety branch, integrating into NTS's broader network.

This acquisition means local contractors, utility companies, and municipalities will have access to an even wider range of trench safety solutions, including rental and sales of trench boxes, hydraulic shoring, and other protective systems. The move is expected to enhance equipment availability and service capabilities for projects requiring excavation work, from routine utility repairs to large-scale infrastructure developments along the St. Johns River.

For Jacksonville, this development signifies continued investment in the local economy and an increased capacity to support the city's ongoing growth and construction projects. Residents may not see immediate changes, but the enhanced resources for safe excavation practices ultimately contribute to the efficiency and safety of public and private works throughout the First Coast community.

The newly integrated branch will continue to serve the Jacksonville metropolitan area and surrounding counties, providing essential equipment and expertise to ensure worker safety on job sites where trenches and excavations are present. This expansion reinforces the commitment to providing critical safety resources for the demanding work performed by local crews.
