Excavating for basements can create significant structural challenges, with surrounding ground and neighbouring buildings exerting pressure on retaining walls. Without the right support in place, there is a risk of movement, instability, or even collapse. Basement propping is a temporary works solution that counteracts these forces, keeping excavations secure while construction progresses. By maintaining stability, basement propping not only safeguards workers and structures but also helps keep projects on schedule and compliant with safety regulations.

At Mabey Hire, we supply a comprehensive range of basement propping solutions, from lightweight modular props to heavy-duty mechanical and hydraulic bracing systems. Our expert team works closely with customers to design tailored propping schemes that suit the specific demands of each site. Whether supporting deep excavations in constrained urban environments or large-scale basement developments, our solutions provide the reliability and efficiency needed to keep projects moving safely and smoothly.
