What is Permanent Shoring?

Permanent shoring reinforces soil or rock to maintain the integrity of retaining walls, foundations, and excavations. Common techniques include:

  • Soil Nails – Steel bars drilled and grouted into place to stabilize slopes and walls.

  • Shotcrete – Sprayed concrete forming a durable, protective facing.

  • Anchoring Systems – High-strength anchors that add stability in demanding conditions.

Benefits of Permanent Shoring

  • Safety – Reduces the risk of collapse in slopes, walls, and excavations.

  • Durability – Designed to perform for the full life of the structure.

  • Aesthetics – Retaining walls and facings can blend with the surrounding environment.

  • Efficiency – Speeds up excavation and shortens overall timelines.

  • Lower Maintenance – Reduces costly future repairs.

  • Long-Term Value – Strengthens foundations, increasing property and infrastructure resilience.

Client Reviews

Professional and Responsive Project Support in Canada

Steve [Wahl] has been gracious with his time during our visits. The feedback … has been very positive (almost glowing) and also your quick action to resolve any concerns from our last visit ... was greatly appreciated…. Keep up the great work, you and your team’s professionalism has not gone unnoticed.

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.

Trusted Mitigation Project Support from GSI Crew

John Boyd was great. I couldn’t be more pleased with the crew. For the next mitigation project, we’ll work with GSI and specifically request John Boyd.
