SEATTLE, WA — National Trench Safety, LLC (NTS), a Houston-based company specializing in the rental and sales of trench and traffic safety equipment, along with trench and traffic safety engineering, and OSHA-compliant training classes, announces the relocation of its Seattle, Washington, area operation.

NTS has completed its third relocation within the last 30 days with the relocation of its Seattle operation to a larger facility located in Tukwila, Washington. The new location moves the operation much closer to the Seattle metro area while also improving the company’s facilities and outside storage. “We needed to upgrade our Seattle presence, both in overall operational capacity as well as location,” said Ron Chilton, President of NTS. “We’ve been focused on upgrading the Seattle area facility, however, the Seattle real estate market has proven to be a very tight market over the last couple years."

Erik Smith, the company’s Seattle Branch Manager, has overseen the company’s startup location, as well as its transition to the new location. “Erik and the Seattle team have done a good job establishing our presence in the market, but clearly needed a location that would improve the branch’s visibility as well as ability to service our customers,” Chilton said.

The new facility features a modern rental office that will allow the Seattle team to serve its markets, as well as a dedicated building for the company’s training instructors to conduct OSHA compliant training courses and a large shop building. “This is a nice facility,” Chilton said. “The Seattle team is really excited about the new property and what these facilities will mean for the branch and the ability to continue to service our customer needs."

As mentioned, this relocation marks the company’s third relocation within the last 30 days with at least one additional relocation planned before the end of the third quarter of 2020. NTS plans to open at least one additional new branch location in 2020 with more to follow in 2021.
