EXCAVATION CHECKLIST
Excavations and trenches can be some of the most dangerous places on a construction worksite, and present a range of potential hazards. One of the ways to reduce the risks of these hazards is by planning and preparing for excavations, which is why Shore Hire has created our Excavation Checklist.
The checklist is designed to be used whenever excavation work is going to be completed, to manage risks and hazards and keep you and your team safe.

HOW DO DIFFERENT SOILS EFFECT SHORING?
The type of soil you're excavating can directly impact the excavation support method, and the design of shoring you will need for your project to make it as safe as possible.
A soil's cohesiveness (how likely it is to hold together) can have a huge impact on the type of shoring activity you can undertake. For example, cohesive soils such as clay are far less likely to cave in on themselves, due to the fact the trench walls are more stable than they would be in a non-cohesive soil.

CASE STUDY:?ENGINEERED BLOCKS & STRONG BACKS FOR FACADE RETENTION?- MELBOURNE
PROBLEM
Shore Hire was contacted by a university in Melbourne that needed a bespoke temporary propping design to support an existing masonry wall for detailed demo works.
The challenges with this project were that the masonry wall had no existing foundation and was already disconnected from the continuing wall. The total load of the wall was also 24kN, and the angles to install the?tilt props?were extremely limited due to space constraints and the heavy load of the wall. Another aspect that needed to be considered when installing the?tilt props?was the university’s existing vegetation, which was less than 500mm from the wall and needed to be preserved and maintained.
SOLUTION
After careful consideration, our team of expert engineers determined that our newly developed?Engineered Blocks?would be the safest solution, due to the prop arrangement and load acting on the wall. However, we could only install two?Engineered Blocks?because the length of the wall was not long enough to facilitate more. This meant that we needed to combine the blocks with Strong Back props built out of our?Shore 400 Modular Props?as well as mini Tilt Props that were connected to both sides of the?Engineered Block.
The total load of the wall was higher than usual for only one Tilt Prop, so we had to use two props in each face of the?Engineered Block, which proved a challenging design factor due to space constraints.
The project was a great success; the bespoke solution we created fulfilled its purpose as assessed and expected, providing the client with assured safety and quality. Shore Hire’s in-house engineering design gave the client confidence in doing their permanent works, and the experience from our sales, operations, transport, and rigging and installation team provided a comprehensive and leading temporary works solution, which resulted in high-end customer service delivery and a very happy customer.
