Hi all,
I am trying to remember the name this certain term/item but I just can't think of it :( Basically, it applies in construction when a hole/trench or similar is dug and metal sheets are placed on the walls of the said hole to stop the earth caving in? I thought some of you kind people would be able to help, it's really bugging me! Thanks, -- David |

Notwithstanding the other replies, I've always heard it called shuttering. |

Thanks, -- Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc-ra-cy) a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers. |

Sheet piling Aren't pilings permanent? Is this, for example, what was done to the local water course namely sheets piled in about 8 feet from the banks and rods between the sheets and the "planking" forming the banks? Basically the sheets are holding the banks up. Paul DS. |

Notwithstanding the other replies, I've always heard it called shuttering. Isn't shuttering where you use material (often wood) to effectively line a hole and create a mould into which the concrete is poured? The shuttering is later removed. The shuttering can also be above ground and sometimes also "patterned" to produce a finish on the final concrete. Paul DS. |

Sheet piling I though sheet piling was driven into the ground, rather than placed onto the edge of a pre-dug hole. But this may be a regional difference. I agree on shoring (placed on the edges, to prevent (further) collapse) and shuttering (for poured concrete etc) Andy |

For military trenches it is called a revetment. Have you been reading _Tristram Shandy_? (I recall from technical translation years ago that the lining of a coat is "doublure" in French, but the lining of a furnace is "revĂȘtement".) |
