It is assumed the trench is similarly sloped from approximately 2 to 5 feet . It is possible that <br /> the trench may be 5 feet throughout . If so then only the last set of calculations should be used . <br /> Recommendations : <br /> 1 . Round horizontal distance to the trench up to the nearest whole integer for a safety margin . <br /> 2 . If the trench is encountered start over using the next set of calculations . ie use the 5 foot sample <br /> calcs rather than the 4 foot sampled calcs . <br /> I <br />
