Plastic shoring is low maintenance, environmentally friendly and has a long lifespan – ideal for both new construction projects and the replacement of existing shoring.

Natural look

The combination of high-quality plastic panels and wooden posts creates a robust construction that protects the banks from erosion and water pressure, by providing the panels with a wooden covering, the natural appearance is maintained while the plastic provides protection at the waterline. As a result, this solution will last at least 60 years. Prolock is suitable not only for large civil projects, but also for the shoring of waterfront gardens.
