In the world of modern construction, structural integrity and safety are paramount. At the core of ensuring that safety is a well-executed system of construction supports, also known as temporary supports or shoring systems. These elements serve a critical role throughout various phases of a building project, ensuring that structures are safe, stable, and in accordance with engineering standards.
What Are Construction Supports?
Construction supports are temporary structural elements designed to hold up loads during construction, renovation, or maintenance. They are employed to maintain the stability of various elements - such as walls, floors, or entire frameworks - until the permanent structure can support itself. These systems can include scaffolding, formwork, props, beams, columns, and shores, each tailored to specific needs and load requirements.
