Overview
SIST EN 14653-2:2005 establishes standardized methods for the assessment of manually operated hydraulic shoring systems used in groundwork support. This document, developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), details calculation and testing procedures to verify conformity for these systems, as introduced in EN 14653-1. Hydraulic shoring systems are essential for supporting excavation sides and ensuring safety in trench and foundation work. This standard ensures that such equipment demonstrates the necessary structural performance and safety characteristics through either analytical computation or physical testing.
Key Topics
- Assessment Methods: Specifies two main assessment routes for hydraulic shoring systems:
- Calculation: Utilizing recognized structural codes for steel and aluminium structures (e.g., Eurocode 3 and Eurocode 9), calculations predict how equipment will perform under expected loads.
- Testing: Details when and how to carry out structural tests if calculation models are inadequate or additional verification is required.
- Requirements: The standard mandates that all system components and instruction manuals meet the requirements outlined in EN 14653-1.
- Structural Configurations & Loading: Assessment must include the most severe conditions as specified by the manufacturer, considering various loading scenarios typical in earthworks and excavations.
- Test Procedures: Describes in detail the test methodology for components like hydraulic waler struts, rams, mechanical locking devices, and valves. Test apparatus requirements and step-by-step procedures ensure consistency and safety.
- Evaluation of Results: Emphasizes proper statistical methods for analyzing test results and defining characteristic resistance values, enhancing the reliability of assessment outcomes.
Applications
The practical application of SIST EN 14653-2:2005 is critical in industries involved in:
- Construction Site Safety: Ensuring hydraulic shoring systems used for trench and foundation support meet structural performance standards, reducing risks of collapse and accidents.
- Temporary Works in Civil Engineering: Use in earthworks, excavations, and underground projects, where temporary support systems must be reliably assessed for diverse conditions.
- Product Conformity Assessment: Provides a structured approach for manufacturers, suppliers, and inspection bodies to verify conformity for new or existing shoring products using either calculation or testing.
- Procurement and Specification: Assists project managers, designers, and contractors in selecting and approving shoring equipment that complies with harmonized European safety standards.
Related Standards
Professionals applying SIST EN 14653-2:2005 should also be familiar with:
- EN 14653-1: Product specifications for manually operated hydraulic shoring systems - the foundational standard specifying equipment requirements.
- EN 12811-2: Provides information about materials for temporary works equipment, relevant for shoring system components.
- EN 12811-3: Specifies methods for load testing temporary works equipment, referenced for test procedures and statistical evaluation.
- EN 10002-1 and EN ISO 6506-1: Material property tests (tensile and hardness testing) necessary for component verification.
- Eurocode 3 (ENV 1993-1-1) and Eurocode 9 (ENV 1999-1-1): Design codes for steel and aluminium structures, respectively, essential for calculation-based assessments.
Conclusion
SIST EN 14653-2:2005 is an essential standard for professionals and organizations involved with hydraulic shoring systems for groundwork support. By specifying rigorous calculation and test methodologies, it enhances safety and reliability in earthworks and excavation projects, ensuring that only compliant equipment is deployed on-site. Adhering to this standard helps organizations meet regulatory requirements, reduce project risks, and uphold best practices in construction and civil engineering.

Introduction
Manually operated hydraulic shoring systems comprise prefabricated equipment to support sheeting
to the sides of excavations. This document covers two types of equipment whose adjustment is by
hydraulic or a combination of hydraulic and mechanical means:
a) hydraulic bracing frames;
b) hydraulic waler frames.
A variety of components exist which when assembled forms a full system. The instruction manual
provides all the necessary information in the safe use of the systems.
The prefabricated components are used to make frame assemblies of different dimensions and
structural capacities.
This equipment is frequently used in conjunction with supplementary equipment, e.g. knee braces and
intermediate hydraulic bracing struts.
