Temporary Works
Temporary works services to launch your projects.
Every successful construction project relies on well-engineered temporary works. At Metric Engineering, we design safe, efficient, and practical temporary works solutions that support construction activities, protect permanent structures, and allow projects to be built with confidence from the ground up.



Why Temporary Works Matters
Why Temporary Works Matters
Why Temporary Works Matters
Temporary works are critical to maintaining stability, safety, and control during construction. From excavation support and shoring to propping and load transfer systems, poorly designed temporary works can introduce significant risk, delays, and cost overruns. Properly engineered temporary works reduce construction hazards, protect adjacent structures, and ensure works are carried out safely and in accordance with site constraints and regulatory requirements.

Frequenly asked questions
Frequenly asked questions
What are temporary works?
Temporary works are engineered systems used during construction to support structures, excavations, or loads until permanent works are completed.
When are temporary works required?
Temporary works are required whenever construction activities could compromise safety, stability, or adjacent structures—such as deep excavations, shoring, or staged construction.
What types of temporary works do you design?
We design shoring systems, propping, bracing, excavation support, retaining structures, and temporary load transfer solutions.
Can you provide support during construction?
Yes. We provide construction-phase support, design clarifications, and responses to changing site conditions.
Are temporary works designs compliant with Australian standards?
All temporary works designs are prepared in accordance with relevant Australian Standards, safety requirements, and best-practice engineering principles.
