Foundation Walls
Producing quality foundation walls is our primary
focus. From footers, to stone slinging or from our
shop to the office, everything is done to help our
wall crews pour the best foundation walls in the Shenandoah
Valley.
 Using
the foundation plans the customer has provided, our
foreman creates a form schedule. This schedule is
the "map" for our crew on where to place
each form. Lines are chalked on the footer to insure
accuracy and then we begin setting forms. Starting
in a corner, forms are set in two directions. As individual
walls are completed, horizontal rebar is installed
and tied to the vertical rebar that is in the footer.
Every wall is different, but thanks to our large
inventory of forms and equipment as well as top-notch
crews, we have not found a wall yet, that we could
not tackle. We form walls with brick ledge, angles,
bay windows, slopes, arches, curves, numerous doors
and windows sizes and heights ranging from 1' to 24'
tall, with widths from 4" to 36".
Once the forms are set, we put 2" x 8"
lumber in waler brackets at the top of the wall to
help straighten the wall and give the crews a safe
platform to walk on as they pour the wall.
Just before the crew pours the concrete two final
steps are done. The forms are sprayed with Cresset
727 Form Release, a top-of-the-line product that provides
easy stripping of the forms, reduces concrete build
up on the forms, and reduces "bug holes,"
leaving nice looking walls.

Commercial and Industrial Walls
These walls are constructed similarily to the other
walls but the size of the walls, as well as the amount
of rebar used in them is larger.

Agricultural Walls
We live in what is known as "The Poultry Capital
of the World." Concrete walls are great for creating
safe, environmentally friendly storage facilities
for the litter/waste produced by the animals. We pour
all kinds of agricultural walls, from the litter storage
buildings mentioned, to barn foundations, and water
tanks.
Retaining Walls
Retaining walls can require larger footers and thicker
walls than the typical basement wall and so we have
chosen to distinguish the difference. We have the
expertise to provide the right retaining wall for
your needs.
