Shoring ~ this is a form of temporary support which can be given
to existing buildings with the primary function of providing the
necessary precautions to avoid damage to any person from
collapse of structure as required by the Construction (Health,
Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996.
Shoring Systems ~ there are three basic systems of shoring which
can be used separately or in combination with one another to
provide the support(s) and these are namely:-
Dead Shoring † used primarily to carry vertical loadings.
Raking Shoring † used to support a combination of vertical and
horizontal loadings.
Flying Shoring † an alternative to raking shoring to give a clear
working space at ground level.
