Shoring is what makes underground work possible — the trench stays open and supported while pipe, drains, and utilities go in.
Jay’s OSHA competent person certification for shoring and excavation work.
Shoring is the temporary support system that keeps trench and excavation walls from caving in while work happens inside them. It is installed before anyone works in the trench and removed when the work is done.
The hiring party directs the project and its safety plan; Jay is an OSHA certified competent person on shoring and trenching work and installs and works the shoring with the machine.
Shoring runs at the excavation rate — $50/hr operator labor for an 8-hour standard day. Shoring materials and machine rental are on the hiring party.
Shoring is the system that keeps an excavation standing while people work in it. Machine Masters installs trench shoring and excavation support — soldier piles with timber lagging — as operator labor, with Jay on site as an OSHA certified competent person for shoring and trenching.
Shoring contractors bundle engineering, equipment, and crew into one price. Here the hiring party's shoring plan and materials meet an operator who has installed these systems for decades: piles set plumb, lagging tight, and the excavation kept safe and inspectable. For deep trenches, utility work, and foundation excavation near existing structures, that experience is the difference between a shoring system and a pile of lumber.
