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 1):
A supporting unit for a self-supporting shoring system for laying pipe in a trench, the supporting unit comprising:\n a supporting frame which can be situated at least partially outside the trench and configured, in the intended shoring position, with a transverse element extending in a transverse direction between a first end spaced apart from a second end like a bridge over a pipe which can be situated outside and/or above the trench and can be lowered into the trench, two supporting walls which can be situated at least partially in the interior of the trench and are spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction of the supporting frame, wherein each of the supporting walls being connected to one of the two ends of the supporting frame, and the supporting frame and the two supporting walls together define a barrier-free lowering space within which the pipe intended therefor can be lowered from the supporting frame into the interior of the trench between the supporting walls.
