Hi-Load Shoring System

The Hi-Load Shoring System is an innovative alternate shoring system developed by Dufferin Construction. This innovative system was first implemented during the construction of the Highway 407 project, where the construction team needed to build 125 bridges within an aggressive project schedule.

The Hi-Load Shoring System has been successfully deployed on a number of Dufferin Constructions projects. The system was designed to incorporate several key elements related to health and safety, cost management and acceleration of the project schedule.

Facts about the Hi-Load Shoring System:

  • Large structure falsework and formwork is easily assembled in modules as opposed to conventional systems of frame to frame construction.
  • The system is more efficient than conventional scaffold systems, resulting in reduced costs.
  • The system allows for deck formwork to be lowered in modules through the use of a sophisticated jacking system.
  • The system minimizes risk exposure of working at heights, and requires a reduced number of assembly workers.
  • The system’s ease of assembly and disassembly has contributed to the acceleration of the project schedule.

Through the introduction of the Hi-Load Shoring System, Dufferin Construction has been successful in meeting demanding project schedules and cost structures.
