Frame Shoring

Pour level after level of concrete floors

Frame shoring is similar to scaffolding, except instead of holding men, the scaffolding holds the decking in place while a concrete floor is being poured. Wood or aluminum beams are placed on top of the shoring frames to support the plywood that ultimately holds the concrete in place.

Frames and Crossbracing

Shoring frames consist of two end pieces that are held together by two sets of cross bracing that form an “X” between the frames. Different sizes of cross bracing allow the shoring frames to be set closer or farther apart depending on the load of concrete to be poured.

A level shore is a level floor

Frame shoring is used in conjunction with screw jacks, u-heads and j-heads to create a level pouring surface. Screw jacks on the top and on bottom of the shore frame and allow the shore height to be adjusted. The u-head and j-head fit on the top screw jack to support the vertical and horizontal wood or aluminum beams supporting the plywood decking.
