Shoring

Shoring is the process of supporting a structure in order to prevent a collapse. Once shoring is put in place, construction can proceed. If the foundation of a building is compromised or going through repairs, it can be necessary to ensure the safety of the workers, the public, and surrounding areas. Shoring also helps to prevent structural damage from water infiltration, weathering, wind, and seismic activity during the construction process.

Shoring can get complicated depending on the soil at the job site, proximity to nearby buildings or structures, excavation depth, and moisture. Our experts at Brophy Excavation know what’s best for your project.
