Excavation support systems protect more than an excavation — they protect schedules, adjacent structures, workers, and project investments. C.A. Murren provides engineered sheeting and shoring solutions that create safe working environments while supporting efficient project execution.

Experience

Since 1985, excavation support systems have been a core component of our heavy civil and industrial construction capabilities. We understand that successful shoring solutions must balance safety, constructability, schedule performance, and cost effectiveness.

Solutions

Whether installing a client-designed system or providing a fully coordinated design-build solution, our teams work closely with engineers, owners, and project stakeholders to develop solutions that support overall project success.

Execution

Our experienced crews include certified welders and skilled craft professionals who understand the importance of proper installation, alignment, and structural integrity. From projects requiring a handful of piles to large-scale excavation support systems spanning thousands of square feet, we have the expertise and equipment to execute safely.

Our capabilities include:

  • Beam and waler systems
  • Soldier pile and lagging systems
  • Sheet piling
  • Foundation underpinning
  • Groundwater cutoff walls
  • Geo-containment systems
  • Tiebacks
  • Rock anchors

FAQs

Our sheeting and shoring services include a full range of excavation support systems: beam and waler systems, soldier pile and lagging, sheet piling, foundation underpinning, groundwater cutoff walls, geo-containment systems, tiebacks and rock anchors. We choose the system that fits your site, soil conditions and schedule.

Sheeting and shoring protect more than the excavation. They keep workers safe, stop soil from moving around nearby buildings and utilities, and prevent collapses that could delay the schedule. On tight sites, deep cuts or wet ground, a well-designed support system is often what makes the job possible.

Sheeting and shoring has been one of our core services since 1985. Over that time we’ve installed support systems on industrial, federal, power and energy, healthcare, commercial and mission-critical projects.

Yes. As sheeting and shoring contractors, we install systems to your engineer’s design. We also offer design-build, where we work with engineers, owners and other stakeholders to develop and install a system that balances safety, constructability, schedule and cost.

It depends on excavation depth, soil and groundwater conditions, nearby structures and how much room there is to work. For example, sheet piling or cutoff walls may suit a wet site, while soldier pile and lagging or tiebacks may suit tighter sites with more stable soil. We review those factors early so the system works the first time.

Yes. We install groundwater cutoff walls and geo-containment systems to keep water out of the excavation and hold soil in place, so work can continue safely.

Sheet piling uses interlocking panels driven into the ground to form a continuous wall. In sheeting and shoring projects, it can help retain soil, support an excavation, and, depending on the system, limit groundwater intrusion.

Our crews include certified welders and experienced field professionals who focus on correct installation, alignment and structural soundness. We also handle excavation, pile driving and structural concrete, so shoring fits into the rest of the site work without handoffs to another contractor.

Whether supporting deep excavations, protecting adjacent structures, or stabilizing challenging ground conditions, we deliver practical solutions that reduce risk and keep projects moving forward.
