The Shoring Post Explained

The process that is used to support an unsecured structure temporarily that otherwise would collapse is known as shoring. Most often, shoring is used during installations and repairs to hold up walls. It is also used to prevent tunnels and trenches from collapsing. The shoring post is the most common material used in such situations.

What is a Shoring Post?

A shoring post is vertical support that is usually made from aluminum, steel, or wood. The post may be used alone or in combination with a variety of other shoring systems. A shoring post is also frequently used for reshoring jobs as well.
