John J. Troyer, Sedgwick County Fire District #1, Wichita, Kansas
Scott Kleinschmidt, Wichita Fire Department, Wichita, Kansas
*Prerequisites*
Previous exposure to Technician Level shoring operations for Structural Collapse.
Max: 25 participants in each block
We will cover some of the recent changes to the FEMA Shoring Operations Guide. We will also build on the basic shoring practices learned in the Structural Collapse Technician course by concentrating more on shoring principles and theory. Understanding why a shore is built in a particular way is key to modifying or expanding its capabilities. The hands-on portion of this course will use these theories and principles in completion of a shoring objective. Bring an updated shoring guide and your personal tool belts if you wish. The latest version of the FEMA SOG (2nd Edition—February 2009) is available for download from www.disasterengineer.org in the library section. Equipment required: helmet, safety glasses, gloves, steel-toe/shank boots, tool belt optional (provided).
