The most common type of shoring used in construction is metal shoring, specifically adjustable steel props or acrow props. Metal shoring provides a high load-bearing capacity, versatility, and ease of adjustment, making it widely used in various construction projects. Adjustable steel props consist of telescopic tubes with a threaded outer tube and inner tube that can be extended or retracted to the desired height. They are commonly used to support formwork, beams, slabs, walls, and other temporary or permanent structures during construction processes. Metal shoring systems offer stability, durability, and the ability to handle heavy loads, making them a popular choice in the construction industry.
