About This Service
Shoring
Shoring supports excavations where the surrounding ground or nearby structures need protection during construction. In Toronto and the GTA, limited access and close neighbouring buildings make it important to plan this work before excavation starts.
Pinemar works with structural engineers on site-specific shoring plans. The support method depends on the approved design, excavation depth, soil conditions, groundwater and proximity to property lines or existing foundations. Installation is coordinated with the excavation sequence rather than treated as a separate last-minute step.

Shoring in Action
How It Works
Our Process
Engineering Review
We collaborate with engineers to design the optimal shoring system.
Installation
Our crew installs the shoring system with precision and care.
Monitoring
We continuously monitor the system throughout the excavation phase.
Completion
After the excavation and foundation work, the approved design determines whether support is removed or remains in place.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should shoring be scheduled?
Plan it before excavation begins. Share the excavation and engineering plans early so installation can be coordinated with the rest of the work.
Are permits or engineered plans required for shoring?
Requirements vary by site and excavation depth. Confirm the required approvals and engineering with your municipality and design team before work begins.
What will happen on site?
Our crew installs the designed support system before or alongside excavation and monitors it during the work. Whether support remains in place depends on the approved design.
How does shoring work during excavation?
An engineer specifies a support system for the site. The crew installs it in stages as required by the design, then excavates in the planned sequence while checking conditions. The precise method and timing vary with depth, soil, groundwater and nearby structures.
What affects the cost of shoring?
Excavation depth, soil and groundwater conditions, access, neighbouring foundations, engineering requirements and the specified support system all affect a quote. Share the site address and available excavation and structural drawings so the scope can be reviewed.
