Shoring systems are temporary structures used to support a building or excavation during construction or repair. They help prevent collapses and ensure safety by redistributing loads. Common materials for shoring include wood, steel, and aluminum, which can be assembled in various configurations depending on the project requirements. These systems are essential in construction sites, especially when working on deep excavations or unstable soil conditions. Properly designed shoring systems protect workers and nearby structures, making them a critical aspect of construction safety. Engineers often assess the site to determine the best type of shoring, such as soldier piles or sheet piling.
