Save time with stay-in-place footing forms
| With years of experience in his field, pouring foundations is second nature to concrete contractor Dave Detweiler. Daily operations began running even smoother, though, about seven years ago, when he decided to try a new kind of footing form on one of his projects. A long-time user of aluminum footing forms, Detweiler tried using Form-A-Drain, a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) form by CertainTeed that stays in place after the foundation is poured, saving time on each job. In the past, crewmembers would have to go back to the jobsite, remove the aluminum forms, and clean them for use on another job. Using Form-ADrain, though, his crews, usually four workers, are often able to form three foundations a day. |
