Structural Shoring Design Guidelines – Needle Beam Shoring (Wall Shoring)

This design guide provides best practices for needle beam shoring used to temporarily support walls during renovation, retrofit, demolition, and structural modification projects. It addresses conditions such as new wall openings, footing replacement or undermining, wall removal, load paths, deflection, bearing conditions, bracing, inspection, and coordination with the Engineer of Record. Illustrated project examples demonstrate needle beam systems supporting CMU, concrete, timber, brick, and precast walls using frame and modular shoring configurations.
