Charlotte Airport Shoring Project

As a part of a terminal and ramp expansion project at the Charlotte Douglas International Airport, Stiver Engineering provided a custom beam and plate lagging shoring design that was greater than 2,500 feet long. The 30-foot and 35-foot steel H-piles for the shoring system were driven prior to construction to avoid conflict with the elevated roadway. Stiver prepared custom access shafts to accommodate the turns in the pipe runs, and a trench shoring design using soldier pile and timber lagging/steel sheeting. Stiver also designed intermediate pits along the trench that required wale set supports along with soldier piles.
