The Purpose of Shoring

The verb to shore means "to support by or as if by a post or beam with auxiliary members, especially one placed obliquely against the side of a building." In modern architecture and engineering, shoring isn’t far from this dictionary definition. But it has a specific application: shoring up the soil and dirt around a trench area where construction work is occurring.

When excavating an area and laying down foundations, piles, caissons, earthquake retro–fitting etc., the workers must have a clear area that is protected from the collapse of the earth around it. If you’ve ever watched a construction site in its early stages, you’ll have seen the extensive shoring around the perimeter of the work area require to keep workers safe—and the project moving ahead at a steady rate. Expert shoring is beneficial for safety and work efficiency.
