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.

Excavation pit with shoring and machinery

PCI and Ground Improvement Engineering (GIE) provided a design-build solution for the shoring system for the excavation for the new building.  The excavation was up to 23-ft below the existing ground surface.

PCI served as the Prime Contractor for the below-grade work that consisted of excavating a 53-ft-deep hole with dimensions of 300 by 400 ft on a busy campus.

Crane and Union Pacific locomotives at construction

PCI demolished an existing bridge and constructed a new bridge along the Union Pacific Railroad.  PCI and Ground Improvement Engineering (GIE) designed a temporary shoring system along the existing railroad track.  

Two cranes positioning concrete bridge girders

As the General Contractor, PCI constructed a 7,800-linear ft-long soldier pile and lagging permanent shoring system with 2 to 3 rows of tiebacks.   PCI excavated the underpass and placed the bridge beams.

PCI was the General Contractor for this project which spanned 2 years and included 8 stages of work.  The main purpose of this project was to replace an existing railroad underpass with a railroad overpass bridge on US 63.
