Raking shoring is a temporary support system used in construction to stabilize walls or structures during excavation or repair work. It involves the use of diagonal braces, known as rakers, which are placed at an angle to transfer the load from the wall to a more stable foundation. This method helps prevent collapses and ensures worker safety. Typically, raking shoring is employed in situations where vertical shoring alone is insufficient, such as in deep excavations or when dealing with weak soil conditions. Proper installation and monitoring are crucial to maintain the effectiveness of the raking shoring system throughout the project.
