Residential poured walls
Residential poured walls
Traditional steel reinforced poured concrete walls are the most trusted and widely used foundation system available. They consist of reinforced concrete footings and reinforced concrete walls poured in place on the footings. We can adapt poured walls to virtually any situation and they can be installed quickly keeping projects on schedule. Poured walls are extremely Earth friendly consisting of steel rebar, cement, sand, gravel and water (concrete) all of which are readily available and abundant natural resources. After installation studs and insulation can easily be added by commonly used methods you see on most every construction project. Poured in place walls are the preferred choice for structural engineers during the design process due to there structural strength. Simply put poured in place walls excel where every other foundation system would fail.
It all begins with a great excavation dig. If you do not have a excavator already scheduled for the project we can always recommend a few great companies locally.
We would then send out our total station operator/CAD engineer to lay out the foundation in the hole with either the proper surveyed reference hubs or we can make it fit if the lot was never surveyed
Our footer crew will then either form up the footer with wood or form-a-drain depending on what the project calls for.
Footer crew will strip the footer same day and install all necessry drain tile and fittings
Next we provide gravel placement with the gravel being placed with a slinger truck.
Our Layout/CAD engineer will then come back out and re-pin the footer with survey nails so wall crew can snap a chalk line of the outside foundation to be placed
The next phase is pouring the walls using our textured brick forms with our main focus always on making sure that the foundation is plumb and square which is why we make step #6 happen on EVERY footer.
After the wall forms are set, braced and all necessary rebar is tied in we will then have a pump truck come out to pump the concrete in between the forms.
Day after concrete is poured we will send out a crew to strip the forms and add any type of snap in windows, remove any brick ledge foam and also clean up their mess before moving on to the next project
