Temporary Shoring & Decking
Shoring downtown Toronto during work to expand the underground pedestrian tunnel. Project completed in two phases, phase 1 in 2021 and phase 2 in 2022.
Temporary Shoring
Located in Port Perry and Blackstock, Ontario, our team completed temporary shoring for the replacement of existing culverts. Our team designed and engineered the road protection systems at two culvert locations, supplied materials and completed the installation. The Port Perry Culvert (22-415C) involved a 6.5-meter deep excavation and the implementation of a unique box pile and lagging shoring system utilizing struts and deadman bracing. The roadway protection served multiple purposes include roadway protection of stage 1 and 2, supported the stage 2 road widening, as well as minimized the amount of excavation.
Temporary Shoring
Groundbreaking Foundations was awarded the contract to design, supply, and install the perimeter shoring system for the 11m deep excavation of the new pumping station. The shoring system included piles, lagging, a top waler, and corner bracing. Working collaboratively with the client, Groundbreaking developed an optimized design that minimized the amount of required shoring and bracing, eliminated potential conflicts with the pumping station construction, and allowed unobstructed access for pit excavation—resulting in significant cost savings for the client. Despite minor weather-related delays, the project was successfully completed on schedule and met all client expectations.
Temporary Shoring
Groundbreaking Foundations completed the excavation shoring along the west building line of a proposed six-storey apartment building with one underground level. The shoring system consisted of piles installed to depths of up to 30 ft (9 m) and approximately 2,500 ft² of timber lagging. The design featured a 3.5 m lagged height with a 0.5 m top slope, achieving a total excavation depth of approximately 4 m without the need for internal bracing that could interfere with future construction. The system was installed efficiently, ensuring a safe and stable excavation to support the upcoming development.
