Below are the general steps on how to shore a wall:

Shoring: The first step is to install a temporary shoring system to support the wall. This is typically done by driving steel sheet piles or installing soldier beams and lagging.

Excavation: Excavate the area behind the wall to the required depth. It is important to ensure that the excavation is uniform and that the wall remains stable during the process.

Installation of Drainage System: Install a drainage system behind the wall to prevent water buildup. This can be done by placing perforated pipes or gravel drains at the base of the excavation.

Placing Gravel: Start by placing a layer of gravel at the bottom of the excavation. Ensure that the layer is level and compacted. Repeat this process, layer by layer until the desired depth is reached.

Backfilling: Once the gravel is in place, the area can be backfilled with soil. It is important to backfill gradually, compacting each layer of soil as you go. This will prevent settling and ensure that the wall remains stable.

Removal of Shoring: Once the backfill is complete, the shoring system can be removed. Ensure that the removal is done gradually and that the wall remains stable throughout the process.

Final Touches: Finally, finish the area with landscaping or other desired features.

Note: The specific steps may vary depending on the type of shored wall and local regulations. It is important to consult with a qualified engineer or contractor before undertaking this type of work.
