Shoring in Civil Construction

Shoring is an essential part of a construction project, ensuring structural safety during the concreting process and allowing slabs, beams, and other elements to achieve the necessary strength. SH offers modern and versatile systems, developed to meet the various demands of the construction market. Below, we’ve compiled the most frequently asked questions about shoring.

What are shoring systems and why are they important?

They are temporary structures that support slabs, beams, or other parts of the project until the concrete reaches sufficient strength. They play a crucial role in the safety of the structure and workers, in addition to ensuring that the project runs smoothly until the formwork removal phase.

What shoring systems does SH offer?

SH offers a variety of high-performance solutions, including:

Loading towers: LTT and LTT Extra.

Metal shoring with adjustable reach and load capacity.

Shoring systems for large loads and complex geometries.

What are the main advantages of SH metal shoring?

Our equipment features:

High strength and durability.

Ease and speed of assembly.

Greater operational safety.

Sustainable reuse.

Specialized technical support.

How do I calculate the allowable load of shoring?

Our engineers develop customized technical projects, considering loads, geometries, and specific features of the project. We use engineering software to ensure accuracy, efficiency, and complete safety.

How do I know which type of shoring is ideal for my project?

The decision is made through a technical analysis of loads, spans, height, and the project schedule. SH recommends the most appropriate system, always prioritizing safety and optimizing execution time.

Can I purchase just the shoring project?

Our focus is on offering complete engineering solutions, including design and equipment supply. If you’re interested in purchasing just the project, our team will evaluate the feasibility with the client.

Do you provide an ART (Technical Responsibility Note) for shoring?

Yes, we issue an ART based on the technical design provided.

Is it possible to shoring slabs at high heights?

Yes. Using load-bearing towers and complementary structures, it is possible to reach great heights with complete safety and stability.

How is the stability of shoring in the field ensured?

Stability is achieved through adequate bracing, leveling shoes, a regularized support base, and technical guidance with on-site training.

Do you offer assembly or just rental services?

In addition to rental services, SH offers technical guidance during assembly, ensuring proper and safe execution. The assembly team, however, is the customer’s responsibility.

What is the average assembly time for SH shoring?

The time depends on the system and the complexity of the project. Our equipment is designed for agile assembly, reducing labor and optimizing the schedule.

What is the delivery time for the equipment?

SH operates with efficient logistics. Delivery generally occurs within 24 to 72 hours after order confirmation, depending on location, inventory availability, and the contracted carrier.

Are the shoring systems compatible with different types of formwork?

Yes. They are modular and compatible with metal formwork, plywood, and structural plastic.

Is it possible to reuse the metal shoring systems in other projects?

Yes, as long as they pass inspection and are approved by a qualified professional. This reuse provides savings and sustainability, without sacrificing safety.

Can I combine metal and wood shoring systems for the pavement?

We do not recommend this practice, as there are differences in the structural behavior of the materials. If necessary, an evaluation must be performed by a responsible engineer.

Is there a recommended inspection or maintenance for the shoring systems?

Yes. We recommend visual inspection before and after use, as well as periodic cleaning, storage, and maintenance of the equipment.

Does SH provide technical support in the field during construction?

Yes. Our engineers oversee the application according to the project, ensuring safety, efficiency, and quality at every stage.

With comprehensive shoring solutions, SH guarantees the safe and efficient execution of various types of projects. Our equipment combines quality, technology, and specialized technical support, always in compliance with current technical standards. If you’re looking for efficiency and safety for your project, count on SH.
