What is the purpose of shoring?

Shoring is the temporary support for the structure that will be permanent in the construction, and it resists the weight of the shored elements, so that if deformations occur, they are within the limit stipulated by the standard. The forces in the shoring are transmitted to the support, a fundamental component for the effectiveness and safety of the system.

How do I hire ROHR for shoring my construction project?

ROHR shoring systems are available for both rental and sale, as we manufacture our own shoring systems through our factory located in Casa Branca/SP. We also offer specialized labor for the assembly, maintenance, and disassembly of the shoring systems. Our rental and sales service covers the entire national territory.

When should each type of shoring be used?

ROHR's ​​shoring systems offer a wide variety of solutions for every type of construction project. Most often, the type of shoring to be used for a given project depends on the appropriate solution for the material being supported. For example, ETEM Towers are more commonly used to support heavier elements, while other systems are more commonly used to support lighter elements.

	High resistance They support concrete forms and hold up slabs or beams.
	Productivity Easy handling
	Speed It reduces the construction time.
	Safety A sturdy structure that makes the construction site cleaner and more organized.
	Reduced costs The result of safe, agile, and productive equipment.

What type of shoring is needed for sandy soil?

Essentially, sandy terrain requires continuous shoring, without gaps between the walls, focusing on the support, which must resist the forces transmitted by the uprights, which can be props or towers. If the support cannot withstand the transmitted pressure, we either reduce this pressure by increasing the support area of ​​the upright or by creating a support that resists the forces from the uprights.

Shoring in construction:

• Shoring project in Brasilia relies on ROHR solutions.
• Shoring of slabs and beams with ROHR rack and pinion elevator in Francisco Morato
• Shoring of slabs and beams for a high-end development in the Sorocaba region.

How should a concrete slab be shored up?

Analyzing permanent loads (weight of the structure), live loads, and accidental loads, we can find basic guidelines for calculating shoring in standard 15696. The material used also directs us to verify other relevant standards.
To exemplify the use of standards according to the shoring material: Wood: NBR7190; Steel: NBR8800; For Aluminum, as there is still no standard for aluminum structures in Brazil, we propose the use of Eurocode 9.

What is the difference between shoring and formwork?

Conceptually, shoring is a formwork made with props; however, nowadays, shoring and formwork are synonymous. Like formwork, shoring is a temporary structure used to support permanent materials on a construction site, such as slabs and beams.

What is metal shoring and when should it be used?

Shoring made with metallic materials, the most commonly used being steel and aluminum, is widely used and offers many advantages over wooden shoring, for example, due to the high load-bearing capacity of metallic shoring, which reduces the number of uprights and the labor required for assembly and disassembly.
