A construction technique used to support structures, excavations, or slopes during maintenance or repair projects. It involves the use of temporary structures such as beams, columns, and braces to ensure the safety of workers and the stability of the structure while the work is being completed. This shoring method is crucial for preventing collapses, stabilizing unstable soil layers, and guaranteeing the safety of workers and equipment. Various methods, including soldier beams and lagging, sheet piling, braced excavation, and soil nailing, are used for temporary shoring. Access Limited's innovative solution, launched soil nails, offers a faster and more cost-effective installation process, with the added benefits of reduced environmental impact and enhanced productivity.
There are several different types of temporary shoring methods that can be used in construction projects. These include:
This method involves installing vertical steel beams (soldier beams) at regular intervals along an excavation, and then filling the gaps between the beams with horizontal timber planks (lagging). This provides support to the soil and prevents it from collapsing.
Sheet piling involves driving thin, interlocking steel sheets into the ground to create a barrier that can support the soil and prevent it from moving. This method is commonly used for excavations near water or in soft soil conditions.
Braced excavation involves installing vertical steel braces or struts within an excavation to provide lateral support and prevent the sides of the excavation from caving in. This method is often used when the excavation is deeper and requires additional stability.
Soil nailing involves drilling holes into the soil and inserting steel bars or nails. These nails are then grouted or cemented in place to provide reinforcement and stability to the soil. This method is commonly used for slopes or retaining walls.
Jet grouting involves injecting a high-pressure stream of grout into the soil, creating a soil-cement column that provides support and stability. This method is often used for unstable soil conditions or when there is a need for ground improvement.
