Shoring Service in Sydney

Shoring provides support for trench faces and is used to prevent movement of soil, underground utilities and foundations. The shoring process helps temporarily support a building in the process of alterations and may be vertical, angled or horizontal. Shoring is usually done during the repair or building of a project. Eastside Piling is one of the leading providers of shoring services in Sydney. Shoring is done with UC150’s, also known as i-beams. Eastside Piling uses H4 sleepers or concrete sleepers in between the i-beams. Shoring is one of the most important processes and must be done to limit the chances of accidents and mishaps at the site. Eastside Piling provides an array of services related to shoring in Sydney. There are times when we don’t have to excavate the entire property. In that case, we just retain the walls. The process is called shoring. Shoring on Sydney job sites is used as a temporary measure for allowing safe excavation by supporting a structure, trench, or a building when they are in the process of alteration, repair or in danger of collapsing. After the work is done, shoring becomes obsolete. Shoring is more cost-effective than contiguous piling if the excavation doesn’t need to go all the way to the boundaries.

An Overview to Our Services

We are experienced at the work of shoring throughout Sydney. Shoring timber walls could be for a permanent or a temporary structure that retains the soil. We drill a hole for placing the beam and then the cement is poured in the hole to set it. This process is repeated for the other beams until the desired length is achieved. Then the sleepers are placed between the beams when we do the excavation.
