PRINCIPLED.
PROVEN.
Founded in 1959 by Harry V. Schnabel, Jr. in Washington, D.C., Schnabel Foundation Company began with a commitment to innovation and operational efficiency. Harry understood intuitively what clients valued most: moving from below ground to street level quickly, safely, and efficiently. In 2019, to reflect an expanded range of services, the company rebranded as Schnabel. Today, as one of the leading temporary shoring contractors, we continue to uphold this legacy of excellence.
