Falsework: Pipe Shoring - Shore Caps

Shore caps are a recent innovation to pipe falsework systems used in bridge construction. Their intended purpose enables pipe falsework columns to be square-cut to appropriate elevations while still allowing for structure crossfalls and/or super elevations.

Shore caps have been fabricated to accommodate either single or dual pipe diameters with a choice of top plates that swivel in a single axis or universally.



We have previously manufactured shore caps in the following sizes and capacities:

Pipe Diameter Capacity* Top Plate
16/18", 20" or 20/22" 200 Kip Universal Swivel
18/20" or 20/22" 250 Kip Single Axis
20" 250 Kip Universal Swivel
24" 250 Kip Single Axis

* Recommended work load with 2.5:1 factor of safety.
