Here are several different shoring types that construction professionals use:

H and I-beam shoring.
Secant pile shoring.
Contiguous pile shoring.
Sheet piles.
Diaphragm walls.
Raking shoring.
Hydraulic shoring.
Soil nail shoring.

Do you have to wear a harness on scaffolding?

For scaffold work, employees must have fall protection when working at a height of 10 feet or more above a lower level. Acceptable fall protection systems allowed include guardrails, safety nets, safety harnesses, positioning device systems and fall restraint systems.

How big does a dead shore scaffold need to be?

Any scaffold shores we provide come with full design and calculations as this is outside the TG20 recommendations of basic scaffolding as the supportive loads are greater than general purpose scaffolds normally supporting 2kn per sq meter.

How are the needles used on a shoring rake?

The needles penetrate the walls up to a depth of about 10cm. The wooden cleats are further used to provide additional strength to the needles. Then, the top ends of the inclined shores are rested against the needles. The sole pieces are bedded at the base of the rakers in an inclined position in the ground to support the rakers.
