What Is Shoring in Construction?
Shoring in construction refers to the temporary support of a structure during building, repair, or excavation. It plays a critical role in maintaining safety and stability when load-bearing elements are altered or removed.
From retaining wall stabilization to bridge deck reinforcement, shoring is essential to prevent collapse, protect crews, and ensure compliance with building codes. It's a must-have solution for contractors, project managers, and demolition teams working on:
-
Building modifications or expansions
-
Structural damage from fire or impact
-
Excavation near existing foundations
-
Removing or altering load-bearing walls
-
Temporary support during high-load activities

When and Why Shoring Is Needed
Shoring isn't just about holding things up, there is also a vital need to protect people, property and timelines. It doesn't matter if you're tackling a planned renovation or responding to an emergency, proper shoring design ensures your project stays on solid footing.
New Construction
During early phases of construction, shoring supports floors, slabs, or decks before permanent structures are in place.
Building Modifications
Removing a load-bearing wall? You’ll need temporary vertical shoring to redistribute the weight safely.
Emergency Stabilization
After fires, vehicle impacts, or structural failures, rapid shoring can prevent further damage or collapse.
Excavation Safety
Deep digs or adjacent buildings can destabilize soil. Raking or flying shoring protects against lateral movement.
In all cases, MDM provides OSHA-compliant shoring systems that are customized to your site and schedule.
Construction Shoring Methods We Offer
We design and install a wide range of shoring systems, each built to address specific structural demands. Here's a closer look at the core types of shoring in building construction we offer across Texas:
Dead Shoring
Dead shoring offers vertical support for walls, floors, or roofs during repairs or removals. It is usually used when a structure needs to undergo changes, or have interior load bearing elements removed.
Vertical Shoring
Designed to support heavy vertical loads, this method is essential for projects that are multi storey, such as parking garages, bridge decks, and other high-load areas. It distributes weight safely to prevent settlement or collapse.
Flying Shoring
Used to brace adjacent structures when work is ongoing between two buildings, flying shoring spans above ground level, allowing full access underneath. It's commonly used during selective demolition or corridor infills in tight urban spaces.
Raking Shoring
Raking shoring uses angled supports to brace compromised or leaning walls. It’s often deployed in emergency response scenarios, as well as during excavation near old or fragile structures.
