In urban areas, trench sections crossed by numerous pipes and cables are commonplace. Using large-area shoring systems is then out of the question. The solution is inner-city linear shoring that combines the piling frame element for guiding sheet piles with the components of the linear shoring system.
By using piling frame elements, linear shoring with single or double slide-rails provides a solution even in those areas where gas or water mains or other service pipes cross the trench. The shoring modules and the piles themselves are lowered largely low-vibration – an important precondition for digging work in towns which usually involves traffic routes and building structures close to the trench.
