Shoring - Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) |
| |
Shoring operations in the UK are based on the FEMA shoring systems from the United States and use both metal and timber shores. The metal system selected for the UK USAR Units is the "ParaTech" shoring system. Timber shores are constructed on-site using timber carried on the USAR Modules and with both hand and power tools. All UK USAR Technicians are trained to utilise both systems, dependent upon the requirements of the situation.
