Poured Walls

About 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.
