A layer of super absorbent bedding under the shavings can work well like equisorb or aquamax. There was a post about it a few days ago I think.

Rubber mats if you have good drainage perhaps? Used these with a layer of easybed on top and it did the trick with my very wet gelding (wet in more ways than one

)

We always add new shavings as banks and then pull down old banks to add to the bed. The shavings seem to stay cleaner longer. The older shavings are a bit heavier (less fluffy) so the pee might not soak through them as quickly. Hope that makes sense it sounds odd, but does work.

The trick is to have a very, very good deep bed. Up until last week I was adding shavings every day for Thumper. But now that the bed is established and much deeper, I am managing to only use about three a week. Still a lot - however, some horses are just harder on their beds than others ultimately....
