UNDERPINNING / SHORING / INSTRUMENTED JACKING


There are many reasons why it is necessary to perform an underpinning or provisional shoring action prior to a load transfer. These processes are usually complex.

To carry out this type of activity, it is recommended, -in some cases it is essential-, to have Monitoring that allows you to evaluate each step of the process and reliably establish whether the transfer has been completed before removing the provisional structures.

The concept of protocol is inherent in this type of constructive procedure.

Defining the steps to follow, as well as establishing what to do when it deviates from the plan, are practices that guarantee good work.

Redundancy is another extremely useful concept. Having interrelated data avoids excessive dependence on a specific value, facilitating decision-making. The direction of these works is also essential. This responsibility usually falls to the Facultative Management. 3S'TECH deploys qualified technicians to facilitate dialogue with those in charge.

The monitored jacking equipment includes multiple devices: hydraulic jacks, automated control unit, high-pressure hoses, safety crowns, non-return valves, pressure gauges, etc., complemented by strain-gauge-based and pressure sensors, displacement transducers, load cells, etc.

3S'TECH prepares a Protocol document for the maneuver, as well as a Final Report of the results of the maneuver carried out.
