Bottoms Up: Turning Pumping Upside Down
Architectural concrete walls and window blockouts lead ABI Corp. to design a concrete pour that started at the bottom of the form and filled upward.
ABI Corp. used Western Form's Flagship G forms for the architectural facade of a building at an impound lot in Kansas City, Mo. The forms have gaskets which reduce concrete seepage at the seams to allow for a better finish. Here you see a 14-foot-8-inch-long window that challenged ABI Corp.'s traditional concrete pumping methods.

A Study in Architectural Forming
Morley Construction faced a tight schedule and intricate architectural concrete forming requirements on the new San Diego Central Library, which was designed by Rob Quigley and destined to become an iconic figure in the city’s skyline.
BIM was a central element to the library’s construction, allowing for scheduling and clash detection. Morley used Revit to build every column, wall and piece of concrete and detect conflicts floor by floor. Each week all subcontractors were required to submit their updated BIM files to Turner to update the master BIM file.

Why Wait to Form Walls on Footings?
Concrete Foundations Association (CFA)
The Concrete Foundations Association explains the rationale behind the speed available to the construction of residential concrete foundations and why footings are not susceptible to damage if the contractor continues the forming process on day two.
Contractors regularly look at the basic U.S. residential concrete foundation as being a three-day process. Excavation, footing forming and concrete placement on day one; wall forming and concrete placement on day two; and form stripping, clean-up and waterproofing on day three.

The Evolution of a Poured Wall Contractor
Rich Kubica, owner of K-Wall Poured Walls, LLC has spent his entire life in the concrete foundation and wall business. Like most futurists who have the foresight to take on radical ideas, he decided it was time to add precast walls to his offerings.
The basic profile of a MonoKast wall includes a 10-inch wide header beam at the top and a 10-inch wide footing beam at the bottom; both of which are 3-1/2 inches thick with solid concrete and reinforced steel. The concrete shell is two inches thick, fiber reinforced, and is 5,000 psi code compliant.
