i am going to install temporary shoring for Rte 405 and for this project i need to put some plastic sheathing all around the perimeter of soldier beam so that slurry doesnt stick with it when i remove the beams.
do you know what kind of plastic material should i use for that?
im currently working on route 405 project and we need to build temporary shoring. i have asked a lot of companies but no one seems to have MC 18x 58 sections to be used as walers for tiebacks. can i use W 18x46 section which has almost the same section modulus if i dont find MC 18x58? or else...
