The Advanced Structural Collapse 4 course is 50 hours and challenges the Structural Collapse Technician even farther with advanced interior shoring problems. The student will become proficient in compound laced post, compound sloped floor shores, confined space shoring, as well as Tie backs. The use of crane support in shoring operations will be practiced. This course concludes with an intensive and realistic night time exercise in which the student will employ skills learned during the course. The students are provided multiple scenarios requiring a combination of advanced rescue and shoring techniques.
Jurisdictions that receive Department of Homeland Security funding from their SAA (e.g. UASI, SHSP, ect.) may be able to utilize those funds to pay for TEEX US&R courses. Since states have varying processes and procedures for utilizing grant funds to take US&R training, the best resource will be your city or county administrator or comptroller of homeland security grant funding.
