Project Case Study:
To enable the general contractor to fix the footings and construct a new masonry wall on top of the building’s foundation, we set up shoring and diagonal wall bracing to support the second floor and roof of the building.
Shoring is a structural support system that is used to temporarily support a building or structure while it is being repaired or remodeled. It can be used to support floors, roofs, walls, or other structural elements. In this case, shoring was installed to support the second floor and roof of the building.
Diagonal wall bracing is a type of lateral support system that is used to stabilize walls and prevent them from collapsing. It is typically used in conjunction with shoring to provide additional stability and support to the building. In this case, diagonal wall bracing was used to support the walls of the building while the general contractor repaired the footings and installed a new masonry wall on top of the building’s foundation.
Overall, the purpose of installing shoring and diagonal wall bracing was to provide the necessary support to allow the general contractor to safely repair the footings and install a new masonry wall on top of the building’s foundation.
