What Are Dead Shores and When Are They Needed?
Dead shores are temporary supports used when structural changes require removing or altering load-bearing elements. Our dead shoring services support the weight of the structure while work happens below.
These supports are necessary for:
- Creating new openings in load-bearing walls
- Replacing or removing defective structural elements
- Supporting upper floors during basement work
- Keeping the roof stable during modifications
- Preventing collapse in unstable structures during renovation
Our dead shoring systems include vertical props, struts, wedges, beams and posts. All of these components are used to safely transfer and distribute heavy loads through the building.
