Emergency Shoring: Rules of Thumb and Common Mistakes

March 17, 2021


Proper shoring is absolutely essential for the safe construction, repair, and demolition of buildings. Restoration contractors, often on site before claims adjusters and forensic structural engineers, frequently find themselves pressed for time and under pressure to shore up and/or stabilize damaged buildings. When mistakes are made, the fallout can be catastrophic.    

In this webinar, we will be discussing the most common scenarios encountered in the field, including shoring damaged floors and roofs and stabilizing exterior and foundation walls. We will also be covering the most common shoring mistakes through examples from cases we have worked on over the years.

  • Construction Lawyers
  • Contractors
  • Property Adjusters

All Attendees Will Receive a Completion Certificate
