Customized Safety Solutions: Engineered Shoring Designs for Damaged Column Replacement.

Welcome to Southern Shoring, your trusted partner in comprehensive structural solutions. Specializing in ensuring workspace safety during critical repairs or replacements, our services encompass shoring structures to facilitate the replacement of damaged columns.

When a compromised column threatens your structure’s integrity, Southern Shoring can provide  a full-service solution. Our dedicated team excels in strategic shoring installation, utilizing a pair of towers specifically designed for each unique application. Towers are typically around 40 feet in height, each comprising four legs with bracing for stability. With an average capacity of 65,000 pounds (65 kips) per tower, our shoring system ensures robust support. It's worth noting that our collaboration with an engineering team allows us to provide PE stamped, engineered drawings for a diverse range of heights and capacities, offering flexibility to cater to specific project requirements.

Recognizing the importance of uninterrupted warehouse operations, our commitment extends beyond shoring installation. Southern Shoring ensures a seamless integration of the new column, meeting safety standards and operational needs. At Southern Shoring, reliability, efficiency, and safety are our priorities.

Column replacement using two towers. These towers are spaced out away from the column to allow the steel contractor plenty of room to work.

For this column replacement, the customer went with an open face type tower that wraps around the column. This design provides access from the front of the shoring tower, and is often used for lighter loads.

These towers were installed because the column anchors had to be replaced. We built the shoring towers and hydraulically lifted the columns, then installed temporary shims while the anchor epoxy cured.
