Temporary shoring is a critical path scope for almost every deep excavation project. When the shoring sub submits an inadequate design and the owner's structural engineer returns it for revision, your foundation pour schedule slips — taking your structural steel and occupancy dates with it. The wrong shoring sub is one of the most expensive choices your project makes.
GeoStabilization International provides temporary shoring as a design-first specialty subcontract. Our engineers prepare the excavation support design from your site's boring data and surcharge conditions, manage the owner's review cycle, and stage the installation crew to mobilize on first-day-of-approval.
GeoStabilization International delivers temporary excavation support subcontract services — sheet pile, soldier pile, and tieback systems — for deep foundation excavations, utility installation, and commercial building construction across 48 states.
Sheet pile shoring systems provide waterproof excavation walls in shallow and deep water table conditions. GSI installs steel sheet pile with vibratory and impact methods appropriate to your substrate and selects the section modulus for your excavation depth and surcharge loading.
Soldier pile and lagging provides economical excavation support in dewatered conditions. Our drill crews set H-pile in drilled shafts and our crews install wood or precast lagging at each excavation lift — moving with your excavation without schedule holds.
Temporary tieback anchors provide lateral support for deep or braced-frame-constrained excavations. GeoStabilization International's tieback crews operate at each excavation lift level, drilling, grouting, and stressing on a schedule tied to your excavation advance rate.
Temporary shoring subcontractors who install the entire wall before excavation begins — or who require a complete excavation plan before drilling the first pile — create unnecessary schedule holds. GeoStabilization International's shoring crews install in phases that match your excavation advance rate: drilling soldier piles ahead of your excavator, installing lagging immediately behind the cut, and stressing tiebacks at each lift before the next advance.
That phased approach eliminates the shoring hold that delays foundation crews on deep excavation projects. Your excavator continues at its planned rate, and your foundation concrete crew steps into a supported, dry excavation on the schedule your project manager planned.
