Excavation Shoring

What Is Excavation Shoring?

Excavation shoring is the process of supporting trench or excavation walls to prevent soil collapse during construction. Without proper shoring, excavation sites are at serious risk of cave-ins, which can lead to injuries, fatalities, or costly damage to nearby infrastructure. Shoring systems provide temporary but critical support that allows crews to work safely within and around excavated areas.

At GeoStabilization, our shoring methods are backed by engineering expertise and field-proven safety standards. We ensure that each project is assessed for geotechnical conditions and stabilized accordingly using the most effective system for the job.

Excavation Shoring

Types of Excavation Shoring Systems

The right shoring system depends on your project’s soil type, depth, location, and proximity to existing structures. We offer a range of excavation shoring solutions designed to match your site’s specific needs, including:

  • Hydraulic Shoring – Pre-engineered aluminum or steel supports that apply uniform pressure to trench walls.

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

  • Soldier Pile and Lagging Walls – Steel piles driven into the ground with wood or concrete lagging placed between to retain earth.

  • Secant or Tangent Piles with Tiebacks – Overlapping drilled shafts combined with anchors for deeper excavations and tight sites.

Each system is chosen and installed to maximize safety, minimize ground movement, and reduce project delays.

Common Applications for Excavation Shoring

Excavation shoring is used in a wide variety of construction and infrastructure projects that require temporary earth retention. Common applications include:

  • Foundation Excavation – Supporting deep foundation walls for buildings and structures.

  • Underground Utilities Installation – Safely installing pipes, conduits, or cables below ground.

  • Tunnel Construction – Protecting workers and equipment during subsurface tunnel excavation.

From shallow trenches to deep, complex excavations, our systems keep your site secure and compliant with safety regulations.

Client Reviews

Client in Virginia on GSI's Professionalism and Safety Consciousness

Rouse, thanks for your help on my project. Never before have I had a subcontractor who operated as well as you did. Professional, safety conscious, and so willing to get the job done. If you're ever near Richmond VA call me. I have nothing but good things to say about GSI. Thanks, Henry

Client from PA

[We have] worked with GeoStabilization International (GSI) for over 10 years. GSI is our “go to contractor” for difficult slope stabilization projects. We have worked with GSI to stabilize steep slopes and remediate landslides on numerous projects along highways, pipelines and railroad right-of-ways. We have found them to be an excellent partner and one of very few contractors capable of working in areas with remote/difficult access. Their experienced equipment operators are able to work efficiently under difficult and often hazardous conditions, and yet maintain the project schedule… [We have] recommended GSI to clients and subcontracted them sole source on … design-build projects. I have no reservations recommending GSI for geohazard mitigation type work on pipeline right-of-way or other projects requiring slope stabilization.

Client in California

As told by GSI Project Development Engineer: We are currently close to finishing one of five sites proposed for repair to the [local Water and Power Agency]. The agency folks were very impressed with GSI’s professionalism and support during the repair procedures. Our approach to the project, our field crew’s commitment to safely, our expertise in what we do, and our continuous involvement in the project at multiple levels all contributed to their positive feelings about GSI.
