Temporary Shoring Across New Jersey

New Jersey excavations span Highlands fractured gneiss, Palisades basalt, and Coastal Plain sand, and NJDOT and New Jersey's dense commercial development corridors require shoring calibrated to this geologic range within a compact, heavily developed state.

GSI draws on its excavation shoring work when scoping projects like this one across the state.

How GSI Delivers Temporary Shoring in New Jersey

Sheet Pile Shoring with Dewatering

Sheet pile shoring for New Jersey's Coastal Plain sand sites manages high groundwater alongside standard lateral pressure, a combined condition distinct from Highlands rock excavations. This is one application of GSI's broader earth retention systems expertise.

Soldier Pile and Lagging Systems

Soldier pile and lagging systems in New Jersey's Highlands fractured gneiss account for this rock's specific joint structure, different from Palisades basalt's columnar jointing pattern. GSI's retaining wall instability solutions experience informs this approach.

Sequenced Installation

GSI sequences New Jersey shoring installation to protect the state's characteristically dense adjacent development, a constraint shaping nearly every excavation project statewide. This draws directly on GSI's engineers work.

GSI's general contractors experience also informs how these New Jersey projects are scoped from the start.

New Jersey Temporary Shoring Process

GSI follows a systematic five-step process to deliver temporary shoring solutions in NJDOT corridors and beyond.

Step 1

Site Assessment

GSI engineers evaluate conditions and severity at your New Jersey site.

Step 2

Root Cause Investigation

In-house geologists investigate the specific conditions driving the issue, referencing New Jersey's Highlands gneiss, Palisades diabase, and coastal barrier island geology.

Step 3

Engineered Solution Design

Custom design matched to New Jersey's site-specific geology, hydrology, and infrastructure loading.

Step 4

Design/Build Execution

One team executes the engineered solution under a single NJDOT-ready contract.

Performance Warranty

Design/build/warranty coverage on every temporary shoring solution installed in New Jersey.

Why New Jersey Trusts GSI for Temporary Shoring

Engineered for New Jersey's conditions. GSI adapts New Jersey temporary shoring to the state's compressed geologic range — Highlands, Palisades, and Coastal Plain — within one of the nation's most densely developed states. Supported by commercial properties and project managers.

Design/build delivery. Design and construction stay under one roof — closing the communication gaps that separate design from construction.

NJDOT specification compliance. Engineering and construction documentation meets applicable DOT requirements from the initial submission.

Emergency Landslide Repair in Wyoming

In 2017, another well above normal snowpack winter and heavy spring rains resulted in 23 new landslides, which damaged or threatened WYDOT roads. WYDOT turned to GSI to help respond to these emergency situations. GSI was able to respond very quickly and in most cases had personnel on site to assess the site within 24 hours. They would provide a proposal for remediation with a preliminary design and estimated costs within 48 hours in most cases. During 2017, GSI was selected to perform remediation with contracts at six separate sites. In all cases, they were prepared to mobilize to the sites and begin work within a week of being given notice to proceed.

A unique element of these emergency contracts was a partnership, between WYDOT and GSI, by which WYDOT provided some logistical support such as traffic control and providing water for drilling operations so that GSI could focus its efforts on performing the specialty work. This arrangement resulted in cost effective, efficient, successful projects. When responding to emergency landslide repair, time truly is money, the sooner a landslide can be remediated before it has a chance to grow, the less expensive it is to repair. In the past, WYDOT has experienced situations in which, landslides could possibly have been remediated quicker, experienced further failure during drawn out conventional design and contracting methods resulting in higher costs due to the additional failure. GSI uses various types of innovative geo-technology in their landslide remediation projects….

All of these projects were completed on schedule, even with cold weather conditions and snow storms ….

All of the stabilization projects that GSI completed for WYDOT included a warranty to repair any of the remediation that would happen to fail, but to date none of the work that they have performed has required any repair. I would highly recommend GeoStabilization International to perform emergency landslide and slope remediation work. They have the resources, personnel, and expertise to respond to your emergency in a timely, professional manner.

Emergency Safety Drill Support for Mining Operations

After GSI personnel conducted a mock “man down” safety drill: I just wanted to follow up on the GSI drill. I could not be more impressed with the team at GSI – they are very competent and professional in every aspect of their jobs, and they performed impeccably with their self-retrieval system they put in place for the Mock Man down drill last week.

Professional and Efficient Project Support in Ohio

I am pleased to write this note about our working relationship with GSI. My experience with them has been excellent. They have a great team of people from engineering to construction. GSI is a fast acting group who puts a solid proven solution to work in a very quick manner. Their field personnel are well schooled on their construction methods and quite efficient when providing the services required to meet design. It has been refreshing to work with this group, as they are professional from design to implementation.
