Shore Hire has an in-house team of over 10 temporary works engineers who are experts in all our products and their applications.

They provide expert help at every step of your project, supporting you from advice through to fully certified temporary works designs and on-site sign-off.

Advice

No matter the type, size, or scope of your project, our experienced engineering team can offer expert advice specific to your needs.

Our engineering advice can assist any contractor in completing a project on time and on budget with our innovative solutions for all types of temporary propping, jacking, and shoring works.

Design

Using leading structural design and frame analysis engineering software, our engineers can design and construct the most robust temporary structures from the ground up to ensure your projects are completed cost-effectively and safely.

Our engineers will create a Temporary Works Design (TWD) for your project that includes a design brief, drawings and schematics, load assessments, equipment recommendations, and health and safety considerations.

Research & Development

In addition to our world-class project engineering team, we also have a dedicated product development team that solely works on product research and development.

They are equipped with world-class tools, from 3D printing to Finite Element Analysis (FEA), for the most cost-effective and thorough research and development process possible.

In line with our value of ‘continuous improvement and innovation’, these engineers work to create new products and refine our existing ones in response to ongoing industry demands.

Modelling

Our engineering team uses modelling programs like Revit and Inventor to visualise and scrutinise every aspect of a product in intricate detail before it even reaches the manufacturing stage.

Equipping our engineering team with innovative tools like augmented reality (AR), computer-aided design (CAD) software, and in-house 3D printing allows them to create detailed 3D models of equipment. These prototypes enable the team to visualise, test, and modify designs in a virtual and live environment prior to fabrication prototyping, saving on both manufacturing time and resources.

Our team are also able to support your project with detailed models of your bespoke designs to help visualise your exact solution before it ever arrives on site.

Site Support

Our engineering service doesn’t just include advice and TWDs; our engineers can provide you with an industry-leading level of on-site support. They can visit your project site and provide on-site consultations and inspections specific to your needs, assess any challenges you may be having, and offer real-time solutions and recommendations.

Our engineering team also offer Lunch & Learns, to design engineering firms and customers to help educate and inform on best practice and safety.
