ANHAUSER-BUSCH gets a shoring pit built with a beam & steel plate shoring system.  The steel beams and plates forms the exterior of the pit, which was all vibrated into place, saving valuable time by eliminating backfilling and wood lagging (a time consuming process).  And most important, this is a 'POSITIVE SHORING SYSTEM'.  The entire shoring system is completely installed from the ground surface and prior to any excavation, eliminating raveling and the potential for future settlement - a big issue with clients and agencies that end up footing repair bills years later as the ground settles in from loosened soils.

The steel mats forming the walls of the pit were prepared above grade and then lowered into the 25 foot deep pit.  The walls poured using a one sided form.  SPEC, the general contractor, installed their unique mechanicals processing equipment, for handling the processed barley grain. .
