PART 2 – PRODUCTS (Not Used)

PART 3 – EXECUTION

1) MEANS AND METHODS

a) The Contractor shall be responsible for performing a site visit to determine the loads to be supported by the temporary shoring.

b) Sequencing of installation shall be submitted to the Owner for approval prior to commencing Work.

c) Shoring is to be placed along the inverted Tee-beam girder line as well as affected double Tee beam ends.

d) Center of shoring supports at double Tee beam ends shall be at least two (2) feet away from the nearest vertical face

e) Shoring shall be continuous through all lower levels to a suitable bearing surface. Shoring installed at upper levels shall be vertically aligned and supported by shoring below, continued to ground. Temporary re-shoring calculations are required for lower-level framing when those members are used to transfer vertically aligned and/or discontinuous construction loads.

2) ENGINEER RECOMMENDATIONS

Temporary Shoring is required to support the following locations:

1. East of Column line 2A-3A – Level 1C

• All double tee beams between columns supporting overhang, install shoring on both ends adjacent to columns.

• Shoring to restore parking to this zone is considered a priority.

2. Column 3C – Level 1C

• Install shoring at double tee beams, adjacent to column.

o Double tee-beam east of Column 3C.

o Double tee-beam at Column 3C.

• Install shoring at inverted Tee support beam immediately below noted double tee beams.

3. Columns 2E-G (West of Stair 1) – Level 1C

• Adjacent to column 2E, install shoring at double tee-beams adjacent to column, and additional tee-beam adjacent to stair.

• At columns 2F and 2G, install shoring at adjacent double tee-beams.

Shoring is to be designed by the contractor. Final design is to be signed and sealed by a MA licensed PE and reviewed by Owner with assistance from Engineer for compliance.
