Excavation Shoring

What Is Excavation Shoring?

Excavation shoring provides temporary support for trench or excavation walls to prevent soil collapse. Without it, projects risk cave-ins, injuries, and costly damage to nearby assets.

At GeoStabilization International, our Canadian crews evaluate site geology, soil conditions, and excavation depth to implement the most effective system—backed by proven safety and engineering standards.

Excavation Shoring

Types of Excavation Shoring Systems Throughout Canada

We select and install systems based on soil type, depth, location, and adjacent structures:

  • Hydraulic Shoring – Aluminum or steel supports applying uniform pressure.

  • Trench Sheets – Steel or aluminum panels inserted vertically to shore walls.

  • Soldier Pile & Lagging Walls – Steel piles with wood or concrete lagging.

  • Secant or Tangent Piles with Tiebacks – Overlapping shafts with anchors for deeper or tighter excavations.

Each solution is engineered to maximize safety, reduce ground movement, and minimize delays.

Excavation Shoring

Common Applications

  • Foundation Excavation – Temporary support for deep foundation walls in buildings, bridges, and critical infrastructure.

  • Underground Utilities – Safe conditions for installing pipelines, conduits, and cables in urban or remote settings.

  • Tunnel Construction – Stabilizes soil and rock during subsurface excavation, protecting crews, equipment, and adjacent assets.

From shallow trenches in urban corridors to deep excavations in remote Canadian terrain, our shoring systems ensure safety and compliance.

Successful Project Support in British Columbia, Canada

Hi Graeme, I apologize for taking so long to respond; it is a credit to the smoothness of this project that I was able to shift my focus onto other ones. When asked by a colleague how this project went, I responded "that so last week". Seriously though, I want to sincerely thank you and your crew for their great efforts and patience getting this going and completed safely and successfully. A senior manager reviewing the photos also noted how tidy and well organized the site looked. Thanks also for accommodating all our site visits and heli close-ups.
