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

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.

Ground Anchors & Tiebacks

Where site conditions permit, anchors provide efficient lateral support.

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
