Shoring & Bracing
A Sample of Successful Projects Shoring & Bracing
Shoring is often required to prevent movement of soil, underground utilities, roadways, and foundations during below-grade construction activities. Our capabilities include sheet piles, soldier piles and lagging, slope stabilization, and more.
PCI and its design partners can provide cost-effective geotechnical structures to support any temporary and permanent deep excavations.
