Temporary Shoring

What Is Temporary Shoring?

Temporary shoring plays a vital role in construction by providing structural support during excavation, maintenance, or repair work. It involves the use of engineered systems, such as beams, braces, and soil nails, to stabilize excavations, slopes, or existing structures, ensuring worker safety and preventing collapse. This method is commonly used to reinforce unstable soil layers, protect nearby infrastructure, and create safe working conditions in challenging environments. Techniques include soldier beams and lagging, sheet piling, braced excavation, and innovative solutions like GeoStabilization International’s launched soil nails.

Modern temporary shoring solutions not only improve site safety but also offer cost and time savings. By minimizing the risk of accidents like cave-ins or slope failures, these systems increase efficiency and reduce environmental impact, making them a smart choice for today’s demanding construction projects.

Benefits of Launched Soil Nails

With a faster and less expensive installation process than traditional methods, soil nails can accept load seconds after installation and work in tandem with primary excavation. Plus, perforated launched nails can be used for groundwater concerns, offering myriad launched horizontal drains that contribute to the speed and safety of the excavation.

Limited access solutions are necessary for congested sites, and GeoStabilization’s Launched Soil Nails provide just that. This approach requires minimal disruption to traffic and pedestrians, making it suitable for urban environments. The use of easily mobilized equipment means a quicker start-up time, resulting in shoring completion being faster and less expensive than traditional methods. Choose GeoStabilization for temporary shoring that is not only safe but also cost-effective with a faster installation process even in active traffic areas.

Launched Soil Nails reduced labor costs, shorter installation times, and less equipment required. This approach can be 30% lower in cost than traditional methods while delivering faster results. Launched Soil Nails also accept load seconds after installation, allowing contractors to work in tandem within primary excavations resulting in little or no delay for the shoring’s completion.

Launched Soil Nails offer contractors the ability for quick stabilization of slopes or excavation walls, allowing for immediate start of construction activities upon completion. With acceptance of load seconds after installation, project completion times can be significantly reduced. This innovative approach can work in tandem with primary excavation and dewatering can contribute further to the speed and safety of the process.

GeoStabilization’s launched soil nails efficiently support the primary excavation process, allowing for concurrent shoring and excavation work. This maximizes available workspace during construction and speeds up the overall project timeline.

Perforated Launched Nails for Groundwater Concerns

Perforated launched nails are an effective solution for sites where groundwater buildup is a concern. By reducing pore pressure, seepage forces, and hydraulic uplift pressures, these nails prevent instability of the soil mass due to excess water content. The use of perforated launched nails increases the stability of soil mass while decreasing the water content.

Dewatering Contributes to Speed and Safety

Dewatering is a crucial step and can significantly contribute to the speed and safety of an excavation. By removing water from the site, several benefits can be achieved, including reducing trench box size requirements, improving visibility due to reduced water accumulation on-site, and simplifying removal of excavated material from sites. These advantages ultimately lead to a faster installation process with lower project costs for contractors.

Safe Installation in Active Traffic Areas

Installing temporary shoring in active traffic areas can pose significant risks and challenges. It is crucial to ensure the safety of workers, motorists, and pedestrians during the installation process. GeoStabilization's Launched Soil Nails offer a safe installation solution by reducing excavation requirements and minimizing disruption to existing infrastructure. GeoStabilization's Launched Soil Nails provide a stable foundation while ensuring minimal disturbance to surrounding structures or ongoing operations. By using specialized drilling equipment, soil nails are inserted into soil layers at specific angles and depths, providing additional reinforcement against potential failures.

Minimizing disruption to traffic during installation is essential in maintaining project timelines and avoiding costly delays. GeoStabilization’s expertise allows for fast mobilization without compromising on safety or quality assurance measures.

Client in Wyoming

Just wanted to tell you that Kris and his crew: Malcom, Nick, Juan, and Shawn, did a great job for us. They are true professionals, hard workers, and gave us great results. Thanks again and look forward to working with you guys in the future!

Client in OH

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.

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.
