About Shoring

Shoring is the process of temporarily supporting a building, trench or structure to prevent collapse and maintain safety during works. It typically involves the use of hydraulic struts or steel or aluminium systems to stabilise walls, floors or earth during excavation. Bracing is a key component of shoring, providing stability by preventing movement or collapse through walers (horizontal support) or diagonal braces (angled support).

Coates offers a wide range of shoring equipment for hire, including shoring boxes, shoring shields, vertical shores (Vertishores), trench sheets and hydraulic bracing systems.

Our shoring range is backed by a team of temporary works engineers and installation experts who design, install and certify safe, cost-effective solutions, reducing risk and allowing you to focus on your permanent works.

Whether you’re supporting a deep excavation or reinforcing a building under renovation, shoring hire is a smart and safe choice for temporary structural stability.
