ICON provides a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional shoring methods which can be more expensive. Our H-Beam and Steel Plate systems require design input from a Registered Professional Engineer, tailored to meet the specific conditions of your job site and soil.
Typically, our steel H-Beams come in sizes of 12 inches or 14 inches, combined with 4-foot or 8-foot wide, 1-inch thick steel road plates to create configurations with one, two, three, or four sides, suitable for various wall types, trenches, or pit excavations. The depths for this type of shoring generally range from 8 to 20 feet. Depending on the engineered plan and design, additional internal steel waler beams or cross braces may be necessary.
H-Beam and Plate offers Versatility, Reliability, and Strength
- Reduced or No Vibration
The limited number of pieces that vibrate in the ground means less disruption. If your project does not permit vibratory equipment, H-Beams can be pre-auger drilled to avoid any vibrations associated with these methods. - Quick and Simple Removal
H-beams and plates can be easily extracted by an excavator during backfilling operations. - Lower Liquidation Costs
Expenses related to cutoffs and damaged sheet piling are minimized, reducing overall liquidation costs. - Dual Uses for your project
The 1” thick steel road plates used to construct the shoring can also be used for trench cover or as street road plates in other areas on your project after the wall shoring job is done.
