Telescopic Shore Brace Frame

This red steel telescopic shore brace frame is a Revit family designed for temporary works planning and site logistics modelling. The unit consists of two parallel vertical steel posts featuring pre-drilled adjustment holes for telescopic height settings. A rigid horizontal truss assembly connects the two uprights, reinforced by diagonal cross-bracing to ensure structural stability during trench or excavation support. The frame is finished in a high-visibility red industrial coating, common for site equipment. Its design prioritises modularity and ease of assembly within a temporary works environment. The geometry is clean and lightweight, focusing on the essential structural members required for BIM site planning and logistical coordination on complex civil engineering projects.

The download is a 440 KB file containing a Revit family (.rfa). Load it into a project from the Insert tab with Load Family, then place it like any other component of its category; it schedules and tags with the rest of your model.

In Revit, this family is typically used within a site plan or section view to document temporary works and excavation support systems. Users can load the RFA into a project and host it within a temporary works view template. Because it is a structural component, it should be managed using specific project parameters to schedule quantities for site logistics. Ensure the visibility settings are adjusted so the frame does not clutter detailed architectural drawings unless intended for construction sequencing.
