Temporary Shoring Across New York

New York excavations range from Adirondack granite bedrock to Hudson Valley shale and glacial till, and NYSDOT and New York City-area commercial excavation projects require shoring calibrated to this geologic diversity as well as the state's dense urban excavation constraints in metro areas.

This is the kind of site where GSI's excavation shoring background comes into play.

How GSI Delivers Temporary Shoring in New York

Sheet Pile Shoring with Dewatering

Sheet pile shoring for New York's urban excavations accounts for tight property lines and adjacent structure proximity common in the state's dense metro corridors. GSI's earth retention systems capability supports this step.

Soldier Pile and Lagging Systems

Soldier pile and lagging systems in New York's Hudson Valley shale sites are designed around this rock's bedding-plane weakness, distinct from the more massive Adirondack granite found elsewhere in the state. This is one application of GSI's broader retaining wall instability solutions expertise.

Sequenced Installation

GSI sequences New York shoring installation to protect the closely spaced adjacent structures and utilities typical of the state's urban excavation sites. GSI's engineers experience informs this approach.

This approach is informed by GSI's broader general contractors work across New York.

New York Temporary Shoring Process

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

Step 1

Site Assessment

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

Step 2

Root Cause Investigation

In-house geologists investigate the specific conditions driving the issue, referencing New York's Adirondack anorthosite, Hudson Valley shale, and Catskill sandstone.

Step 3

Engineered Solution Design

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

Step 4

Design/Build Execution

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

Performance Warranty

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

Why New York Trusts GSI for Temporary Shoring

Engineered for New York's conditions. GSI's New York temporary shoring addresses both the state's geologic diversity and the dense urban excavation constraints common in its metro corridors. It's backed by GSI's broader commercial properties and project managers capability.

Design/build delivery. A single accountable team delivers design and build — preventing the disconnects between engineering and field execution.

NYSDOT specification compliance. Project records and construction methods conform to DOT requirements beginning with initial documentation.

Innovative and Cost-Effective Project Solutions in Nevada

We have worked on several estimates and concepts with GSI over the last few years. Last spring, we had an opportunity to build a project with them. We received a handful of quotes, GSI was not only competitive, but they also provided a solution that significantly improved the project sequence and schedule. I think it is definitely worth your time to get to know James and their capabilities. I would also add that in many instances, their proposal is not apples to apples with competitors. Because of their unique approaches, oftentimes the earthwork scope can be decreased or made cheaper by using GSI.

[as told by GSI Project Development Engineer] This is the second project your company has completed for us and just like the first one a great crew to work with. Very competent, courteous, and informative … great job.

Project Support for Transportation Infrastructure in Virginia

Perry & Chris, I hope all is well. Every so often I think back on how both of you and GeoStabilization helped us out tremendously on the Rte. 17 project and put us back on schedule. We ended up finishing the Rte. 17 project 5 days ahead of schedule …. It will always stick in my mind. I wanted to see if you guys would be interested in giving me a price [for additional work].
