Etymology

The term 'shoring' originates from the Middle English word 'shore', which meant support or prop, to keep something upright or stable. This word is derived from the Old English word 'scoir', meaning to support or hold up. The concept of shoring has been utilized for centuries in various forms, as civilizations have always required stability in their constructions. In ancient times, methods such as the use of wooden beams or stones to support structures can be seen in archaeological sites around the world. With advancements in engineering and construction, shoring techniques have evolved, incorporating materials such as steel and modern engineering practices to enhance safety and effectiveness in construction projects.
