Poured Walls

IFCs are hollow foam blocks that are stacked into the shape of the exterior walls of a building, reinforced with steel rebar, and then filled with concrete. Insulated concrete forms combine one of the finest insulating materials, Expanded Polystyrene (EPS), with one of the strongest structural building materials, steel-reinforced concrete. The result is a wall system of unmatched comfort, energy efficiency, strength and noise reduction.

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.

The Process:
When you choose K-Wall Poured Walls to install your new poured wall foundation you get the
added benefit of piece of mind knowing we are hands on, reputable and involved through the
entire process. We have many customers who will have us take stress and workload off their
shoulders because we are capable of clearing lots, laying out and digging the foundation,
installing the foundation and flatwork and finally backfilling for total completion. We also have
many customers that we simply install the foundation and flatwork for. Whatever the scope of
work is that you would like us to handle-we’re ready. Our most common process is:

1) Surveyor will establish the building location on your property and set 2 or more control
points for us to reference.
2) We draw and load the foundation plan into our robotic total station which also allows us to
identifying mistakes should there be any overlooked on the plans.
3) Clear the lot and install the septic system if required.
4) Reference the surveyors control point and re-stake the foundation corners then dig the
foundation.
5) Re-stake the corners and dig the footings as per the plans or IRC code. Place the steel
rebar set grade get inspection and pour the concrete footings.
6) Re-stake the foundation corners for the wall crews to follow while setting the forms.
7) Tie the rebar per the plans or Irc code, set the wall forms, get inspection and pour the
concrete walls.
8) Remove the wall forms after the initial set of the concrete typically 10 or more hours after
pouring.
9) Waterproofing contractor you hired will waterproof the foundation per code and get a backfill
inspection.
10) Backfill the foundation.

Is concrete a GREEN building material? 
One increasingly common question home buyers ask is, “Which materials used in construction can be harmful to my family?” Common building materials like wood adhesives, treated lumber and carpets can off-gas toxic VOCs in the short term, and ultimately can create an environment where moisture gives rise to mold and mildew. Not poured concrete! It off-gases nothing, and never lets allergy-causing fungi get a foot-hold.

K-Wall hasn’t just kept up with the innovations in our industry, we’ve lead them and have the patents and awards to prove it. In 2008 the Concrete Foundations Associations of America awarded K-Wall the Contractor of the Year Award and said this about the company:

“K-Wall Poured Walls have maintained a commitment to craftsmanship and quality by implementing the latest foundation technology and staying active in education opportunities.” —Concrete Foundations Associations of America

Ultimately, it is technology and experience that separate the industry leaders from the followers. Nowhere is this more evident than in the planning stages. K-Wall uses CAD software to check contractor’s plans, and cutting-edge robotic surveying equipment to insure accuracy.

At the beginning of a project we use robotic surveying equipment to match the drawings to the land to a fraction of an inch. We then clear lots and do excavation. Our earth-moving equipment also allows us to do demolition, driveways and back-fill and install septic systems. We even offer different types of retaining walls.

K-Wall offers WallShield Waterproofing with options for a 10 or 20-year warranty. Include waterproofing in your foundation plan to ensure a dry, comfortable basement and mitigate mold and mildew problems.

Planning to add color and texture to your patio, walkway, or garage? We’ve got flat work covered; from stamped, patterned and colored concrete to durable epoxy surfaces, K-Wall has the forms, technology and expertise to insure that your project comes out exactly as you intended.

And once the project is out of the ground, K-Wall offers ICFs, poured concrete walls and insulated walls. Looking for epoxy garage coatings or decorative concrete surfacing? We do both. The K-wall team is proud to say that these are not tasks that we sub out. Our staff has been well-trained to perform these tasks. And since K-Wall does not have to contract out these services, the result is fewer bills, fewer delays and fewer mistakes on the job.
