Shoring

In this method, inclined members called rakers are used to give temporary lateral support to an unsafe wall.

A shoring system such as piles and lagging or shotcrete will support the surrounding loads until the underground levels of the building are constructed.

A rigid or flexible facing (often sprayed concrete) or isolated soil nail heads may be used at the surface.

Shoring is used on board when damage has been caused to a vessel's integrity, and to hold leak-stopping devices in place to reduce or stop incoming water.

Also used on board is mechanical shoring as a quick, temporary solution, however it isn't favoured due to its inability to move with the vessel.

Then there is a horizontal timber cut to size to fit between this and what it is shoring up, e.g. a splinter box, bulkhead or door.

Shoring is a term used in the process of air freight container and pallet (ULD) buildup, e.g. making sure that the cargo placed in containers and on pallets is packed securely and efficiently.
