If a structure encroaches on the subsoil, the resulting excavation must be secured in accordance with the local conditions. A construction pit shoring has the task of securing adjacent properties or buildings in the course of a pit construction.

Confined construction areas in inner-city areas, but also in intensively used locations, hardly give the opportunity to create excavation pits with sweeping embankments.

Often existing high groundwater levels require additional water retention or force the execution of “watertight” construction pits.
