Shoring and support of excavation estimating services in Canada

Shoring protects the excavation and everything around it, and its cost depends on depth, soil, groundwater and what sits beside the hole: roads, buildings and utilities. It is also a safety item, so it has to be priced properly, not trimmed.

We prepare shoring and support of excavation takeoffs from the engineered drawings, with the system type, quantity and installation on their own lines.

| What we count and price

Soldier piles and lagging by length and area
Sheet piling by area and depth
Secant and contiguous pile walls
Tiebacks, rakers and struts, with waling and bracing
Dewatering and groundwater control
Removal or leave-in-place of shoring, as drawn

| Canadian shoring detail

Excavation support is designed by a professional engineer
Ontario's construction regulation requires protection for trenches deeper than about 1.2 m (4 ft)
Frozen ground and winter conditions change drilling and driving
Neighbouring buildings and utilities may need monitoring and permits

| How we price it

Quantities are taken from the shoring plans and sections by wall type and depth. Monitoring, dewatering and standby time are shown as separate lines or allowances. The engineer's design is the basis, and we do not change it.

| Timing

Small shoring takeoffs are normally ready in about 4 to 6 hours and larger projects in 6 to 48 hours, depending on size and urgency.

Frequently asked questions

Do you design the shoring?

No. Design belongs to a professional engineer. We price the design shown on the drawings.

Do you price dewatering?

Yes, as an allowance with the assumptions stated.

Can you price removal?

Yes, as a separate line when shoring is not left in place.

Do you price trench protection for small jobs?

Yes, including trench boxes and sloping.
