  1. Why is trench shoring important? Trenching and excavation activities are executed innumerable times during the process of construction. Excavation is one of the riskiest kinds of job and it becomes all the more dangerous when trench excavation is implemented. Digging small trenches is satisfactory, but deep and narrow trenches often require the support of the expert to ensure total safety to lives and stability to the structure. Reputed shoring contractors in Dubaican reduce the risks and mishaps related to this activity with their trench shoring expertise. Some of the common accidents that occur during trench excavation are cave-ins, materials/equipment falling, underground utilities, struck-by accidents, asphyxiation, deep falling and drowning. Hence, it is important to hire a shoring contractor who knows the ins and outs of trench excavation andshoring work. Here, in this post, we have explained why trench shoring is important 1 - Safety There are thousands of construction workers who lose their lives each year during the process of trench excavation particularly when digging the manholes or while laying the pipe. The shoring helps to save the life of the workers involved in trench excavation. Shoring is done to put more safety to the process of trench excavation, especially in the hilly areas. Shoring improves the stability and safety of the project. 2 - Excavation support Unlike concrete retaining walls that require a large amount of space on either side, most types of shoring require only an inch of space. This makes the shoring process an ideal process and allows the construction crew to do the work. Some of the most common kinds of shoring that construction workers use are soldier piles and lagging (in this process vertical steel-beams are inserted into the soil along with wood lagging walls which are inserted between them to hold the soil in place. Together it becomes a barrier against the ground pressure.), Tiebacks (It is a technique
