The AVR system features a patented design that incorporates laminated wood and metal components for shoring the ceilings of underground concrete utility vaults. The AVR system is completely adjustable and can be easily modified in the field to accommodate different precast concrete vault sizes and equipment configurations.

The system consists of cedar or treated laminated wood support columns, adjustable steel brackets, and laminated wood support beams. The AVR system incorporates interlocking ceiling support members for increased support and debris control.
