Amazing installation and product! Fabulous!
We bought a full set of Durand forms about 20+ years ago. I want to say they cost close to 100k for a big set, pins, wedges, wailers, walkers, and all your outside and inside corners and odd forms. We run 9' forms, the biggest are 30" wide. They have paid for themselves many many times over. I like that round over form for the tops of Retaining walls a lot. We have the same get-up, with the crane truck and cages. Used to have to carry them all by hand out of the walk out basement and around and up the hill. Those were tough days. Lol. The big ones that we use most often weigh around 100 lbs. You have to get used to carrying them. Nice work guys.
Very honorable work!
Beautiful!
Ima go ahead and assume they’re lighter than the 30+ year old duraform and advance panels me and my co workers lug and stack day in and day out?
Guys .., the amount of rebar you put in there is .... astonishing
Minimal frankly.
How deep was the concrete footing?
Nice Product!
nice work
Really cool work. How thick is that Aluminum plate? Maybe 1/8" plate? Some of the cross members look like they are some sort of aluminum channel maybe 2" deep, maybe 1' on center. The parts where the guy was tapping with the hammer, maybe 3/8" thick aluminum?
I did this kind of work for 9 years in New Jersey.
Would you like to come work in NZ, I want to import a couple of house loads of forms. Come work for me and train us up

awesome
Old guys rule!
sorry guys thats the uk sense of humour , really good work guys from p & s in the uk. ps merry xmas 2015.
I can't imagine how much these forms cost. It was $80 for a 2' x 8' marine plywood 4 bar Advance panel when I was a youngster.
Breen Ouellette I think the idea here is the texture in the concrete forms. It's a retaining wall, so no insulation is required. It just has to be strong and pretty.
I built foundations for about 10 years back in the 80s, 90s. We had wooden forms with built in latches. I stopped because my back couldn't take it anymore. I heard the disc pop.
If insulated concrete forms were around back then, I'd still be in that business. They are night and day different from the old way of building house foundations.
Today's kids don't know how lucky they are to be able to work ICFs.
Nice 👍🏻
Great....👏🇧🇷👏
Those flat sections look 100x better than the fake stone pattern.
Did that cost more than the house?
Look like a pain to keep clean... Sandblast after every 50 or so pours?
I'm curious why the turn in walls were smooth forms.
I would guess a set of steps going there.
pump!
FORMS W/ PRINT
I miss my gang forms and handset hate this primitive 3/4 system
Our forms are 100lb a pc
lol we go 8 footers that weigh atleast 180
Try a 3x9
kinda neet
Too wet
I agree. Looks like slurry mix. Wonder what the slump was? Hope they added more cement to the concrete.
my other half, saw you guys building that wall forms and thought you guys looked like tramps LOL. online well i had to say well what do you expect from working guys , wear suits ? LOL .
Lol how many times have guys fallen off these things because of no scaffold? Makes no sense to have a form system like that with no scaffold.
"Retaining wall" Why retain the dirt, use it as a berm, you have enough distance away from the house. It looks like they're aiming to retain people away from their property.
A bull-nose and texturing doesn't change a thing; it still looks like a prison wall.
There's nothing like an old and rustic corral fence and some trees to delimit your property. Unless your neighbors are out to stab you...
it a retaining wall it there to hold the dirt back from falling in heavy rain falls DH .
haha look how slow these old guys are moving..they definitely need these aluminum forms, ,advanced concrete forms would destroy them,, advanced panels are 40lbs a piece an that's only the 4foooters,,5ft 8ft 9ft would kill these guys
these old guys poured more concrete than you will ever dream of, have some respect for the ole bulls......
Slow is fast!
Right the first time is always fastest!
Stuck in mud, no gravel in the hole.
