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 16):
A method for laying a flexible plastic pipe in a trench that is excavated along a trench course, the method comprising the steps of:\n disposing at the site of the trench a shoring system which has a front and a rear end and includes a plurality of displaceable supporting units and shoring units between the front end and the rear end; the pipe is lowered, within a barrier-free lowering space of the shoring system, from a lift position essentially to the trench floor, and simultaneously, one end of the pipe is held in the lift position in a holding section of the shoring system.
