Support of Excavation in Toronto | Shoring & Bracing Solutions by infraMOD
What We Do / Support of Excavation
Toronto’s rapid urban development, transit expansion, and increasing density have made support of excavation (SOE) a critical component of safe and efficient construction.
From deep transit corridors to high-rise foundations, projects across the GTA require engineered shoring systems, reliable bracing, and precise execution under constrained urban conditions.
infraMOD, the leader in SOE Steel Solutions, supports Toronto’s construction ecosystem with proven SOE solutions, combining engineering expertise with practical site experience to deliver performance where it matters most — below grade
Our Experience in
Toronto
infraMOD has contributed to major infrastructure development in Toronto, including work on the Metrolinx Ontario Line, one of the city’s most significant transit expansion projects.
Our scope has included:
- Bracing and shoring systems using struts and walers
- Traffic and equipment decking to maintain surface operations
- Installation of ground anchors for excavation stability
- Supporting complex excavation conditions in dense urban environments
These projects required:
- Coordination with multiple stakeholders
- Adaptation to constrained site conditions
- Reliable performance under varying soil and groundwater conditions

Support of Excavation Services in Toronto
infraMOD provides comprehensive SOE solutions tailored to the complexity of Toronto construction projects.
Shoring & Bracing Systems (Struts & Walers)
Our shoring systems are designed to maintain excavation stability while accommodating site-specific constraints. We provide solutions for deep excavations in urban environments.
We also deliver bracing systems engineered to resist lateral loads and support staged excavation, such as.
- Steel struts and walers
- Multi-level bracing systems
- Designed for restricted footprints and adjacent structures
Ground Anchors & Tiebacks
Where site conditions permit, anchors provide efficient lateral support.
- Temporary and permanent anchors
- Load-tested systems
- Designed for performance and constructability

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Support of excavation refers to systems used to stabilize soil during excavation. In Toronto, where projects often occur in dense urban environments, SOE ensures:
- Safety of adjacent structures
- Worker safety
- Controlled excavation in complex soil conditions
Common systems include:
- Soldier pile and lagging
- Secant pile walls
- Braced excavations with struts and walers
The choice depends on soil conditions, depth, and site constraints.
Ground anchors are used when:
- There is sufficient space beyond excavation limits
- Reduced internal bracing is preferred
- Load transfer into surrounding soil is required
infraMOD provides:
- Engineered shoring and bracing systems
- On-site support and coordination
- Solutions tailored to project constraints
- Reduction in total installed costs
- Solutions that minimize site risk & improve project schedules
