The mixed-use building at SE 50th and Division has four stories above grade and one basement level below grade. Braced shoring was needed in order to support the adjacent buildings during excavation for the basement level of the new building. We worked closely with the owner, shoring contractor and the design team to develop a shoring design which would provide the necessary support while not interfering with the proposed foundation.
