We just poured the concrete walls for our new house foundation.
Let me show you exactly how we did it.
Using 5/8’s vertical and ½” horizontal rebar, the guys made a grid exactly where the foundation walls go.
Next, they set their aluminum form panels in place.
These are held together with pins and wedges.
The wedge goes through the pin and is tapped in place with a hammer- drawing the forms tight.
The inner and outer forms are held together with wall ties like these.
The guys used four-inch-thick pieces of foam to make the wall narrow from 10” to 6” to create a 4” ledge for the masons to lay their brick off of.
It’s important that the brick ledge follows the lay of the land so that you don’t see exposed foundation after final grading is done.
Once the forms are set and plumb- it’s time to pour concrete.
The concrete is poured directly into the hopper of the pump truck which has a giant boom to pump the concrete to exactly where it’s needed.
The guys sprayed form release on the inside of the forms so the concrete won’t stick.
The pump truck is operated by remote control, so the operator can stand right next to the wall and see what’s going on.
The guys work the concrete with long sticks and beat the forms with rubber mallets to ensure there are no voids.
After everything is troweled off and the anchor bolts are set, all that’s left to do is clean up.
