Temporary Special Shoring
There may be cases with shoofly track alignments where temporary
special shoring is needed to shore a track section adjacent to an
open cut for:

- Construction of new superstructure.
Traditionally, temporary special shoring on transportation
projects is designed by the contractor. The railroad company
requires
TxDOT obtain
a fully designed temporary special shoring system included
in
Exhibit A and approved by the railroad company prior to letting.The shoring
must
be designed in accordance
with AREMA and any guidelines provided by the railroad company.
