The Shore Thing: A Practical Seminar on Shoring Methods and Case Studies for Historic Buildings

As a building ages, its structural integrity can weaken. Shoring practices play an imperative role in the safety and security of structures, both new and old. Intended as a temporary solution to structural issues, shoring is a complex process that must take into account numerous variables such as building materials, ground stability, weather, and surrounding infrastructure.

Topics to be covered will include an in-depth discussion of the process of shoring related to historic structures; the role of preservation contractors in this process; emergency shoring situations; and detailed case studies of shoring of local buildings. The program will feature three speakers, each an expert in this field.

Speakers:

John J McErlean, P.E., S.E.

Principal, Plan B Engineering

Eric Hammarberg

Associate Principal, WJE Engineers & Architects

Alastair C. Elliott, PE, LEED AP

Principal, Chief Operating Officer, Robert Silman Associates
