menopang
Explanation:
In this context, shoring, sloping and benching are all methods to prevent the collapse (of what? more context needed).

e.g. in KIMD: the men shored up the walls of the tunnels (to prevent collapse) = orang itu menopang dinding terowong ...

Kamus Dewan: topang = sangga (penyokong) yang bercabang

Kamus Perwira: topang = support, prop up, lean on, base on.
