Abstract:
A system for shoring a trench, which is dug for receiving a pipeline and includes spaced apart sidewalls, includes at least two supporting units that are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the trench and configured for absorbing transverse forces from the sidewalls. Disposed between the two supporting units is a plurality of shoring units, each configured for supporting the sidewalls of the trench. Together with the supporting units, the shoring units are configured to form a barrier-free lowering space within which the pipe can be lowered into the trench from outside the trench to the floor of the trench. A method for laying a pipe using the shoring system is also disclosed.

Claim (Index 10):
A shoring system for trench shoring for a lowerable pipe to a trench floor, the shoring system comprising:\n at least two supporting units which are spaced apart from one another in the longitudinal direction of the shoring system and are intended for absorbing transverse forces, wherein each of the supporting units includes a supporting frame which can be situated at least partially outside the trench and has a first side spaced apart in a transverse direction from a second side, the supporting frame including a transverse element extending in the transverse direction between a first end spaced apart from a second end like a bridge situated outside and above the trench and from which the pipe can be lowered into the trench, the supporting frame including two supporting walls which can be situated at least partially in the interior of the trench and spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction of the supporting frame, wherein a respective one of each of the supporting walls being connected to a respective one of the two sides of the supporting frame, and the supporting frame and the two supporting walls together defining a barrier-free lowering space within which the pipe intended therefor can be lowered from the transverse element of the supporting frame into the interior of the trench between the supporting walls; and at least one shoring unit which is situated between these two supporting units and is configured for supporting the trench wall, and wherein the supporting units form, together with the at least one shoring unit, a barrier-free lowering space within which the pipe intended therefor can be lowered from an area located outside the trench to the trench floor.
