Temporary Works and Shoring Review Agent

Review contractor temporary works submissions against the permanent design and track resubmittals to approval

Temporary Works and Shoring Review Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

Shoring and temporary support designs arrive late, and engineers review them under pressure. The agent checks each submission for stamped calculations, design loads, the build and removal sequence and stability. It compares loads with the permanent design and checks that the load path reaches adequate support. It lists comments by severity, such as missing stamp, unspecified concrete strength at removal or unchecked buckling. It drafts a review letter and tracks resubmittals, comparing each one with the previous comments. The engineer approves the response before it is sent. Edge case: a shoring plan assumes a slab strength of 3,000 psi at 3 days, which the agent checks against test data and flags as unsupported.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

How it decides

The review checks stamped calculations, loads, sequence and stability; any gap becomes a comment and the submission returns until closed.

  • Return incomplete submissions without a technical review
  • Mark a comment critical if loads or stability are not shown
  • Require evidence for early strength assumptions
  • Track each resubmittal against the previous comments

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Severity rules
  • Items required in a submission
  • Response time target (default 3 days)
  • Comment format

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • Engineer approves each response
  • Engineer approves final acceptance

Hard limits

  • Never accept temporary works; the engineer decides
  • Never give design advice to the contractor

It stops when

  • Done: every comment is resolved and the engineer accepts
  • Stop: the design is not stamped by a licensed engineer

An example run

What happensA contractor submitted shoring for a 20-foot excavation without a sequence. The agent returned it as incomplete. The resubmittal added a sequence but assumed 3,000 psi concrete at 3 days. Test data showed 2,200 psi. The agent looped back, issued a critical comment, and the third version was approved.
