Shoring

Shoring

The process of supporting a building, structure, or trench with shores (temporary buttresses) when in danger of collapse or during repairs or alterations or for the excavation as required for new structures. Shoring is typically a timber or metal prop. Shoring may be vertical, angled, or horizontal. Raking Shores consist of one or more timbers/buttresses sloping between the face of the structure to be supported and the ground. Other shoring methods could include hydraulic shoring, soil nailing, beam and plate, and vertical shoring.
