Explanation:
A conjecture based on the María Moliner definition of ademar: poner ademes para reforzar algo, antibar, estribar (apoyar o descargar el peso de una cosa en otra, apuntalar con tablas y maderas las paredes de las minas). This is not my field, so someone who works in this field should confirm or reject my suggestion.

agree  Charles Davis: "Shored" looks right: "La operación que consiste en colocar los soportes en un túnel para resistir el movimiento de tierra se denomina ademado" http://www.buenastareas.com/ensayos/Ademmes/7490699.html (unfortunate misspelling of ademes, but sound)

  -> Yes, I don't know why I bothered to put prop as shore should be a safer option in this context really. However, I don't recall coming across this verb before. Maybe this text is from South America.

  -> Thanks Bill
agree  Jenni Lukac (X): You're the expert here. they have to be fitted in to shore up, but that's the meaning of ademar.

  -> It's not a verb I think I have come across before today.
