ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for shoring a building foundation including spaced pilings extending into drilled bore holes such that the lower ends of the pilings rest on and are supported by a sub-stratum believed capable of supporting a portion of the weight of the foundation. Each of a plurality of pressure actuated jacks is connectable between a support bracket and one of the spaced pilings. The jacks are used to individually load test each of the pilings by application of force exceeding the portion of the weight of the foundation which will be supported by each individual piling. Load equalizing manifolds are connected to the fluid inlets and to the fluid outlets of the jacks to distribute a portion of the weight of the foundation over the pilings.
