FAB-FORM MONOPOUR
Fab-Form Monopour & Panelized Housing
The Econ Group, a Design/Build Contractor in Vancouver BC, recently installed a Monopour foundation for a panelized single family dwelling on the West Side of Vancouver.
"We insisted on the Monopour for this project", confirmed Mike Dutson, a Partner with Econ. "We needed a foundation wall accuracy of 1/8" because all the floors, walls and roof were pre-manufactured. We achieved these tolerances easily using the drill adjustible side supports and Zont™ bracing."
The project architect was Kenneth Chooi of DSK Architecture, Vancouver BC (604.448.2102). DSK Architecture specializes in sustainable and energy efficient design for the residential market.
Floor, wall and roof panels were supplied by CutMyTimber, Inc., with offices in Canada and the USA.
Pre-manufactured ICF components with pre-installed Fastfoot® are set up around the perimeter.
Stringlines are used to align the manufactured foundation components.
Zont™ horizontal bracing flattens the ICF foundation wall perfectly.
The bracing and scaffolding is almost complete. Note the use of Fastfoot® on interior footings.
Another perfect pour by the Econ Group.
Note the use of a drainage layer to ensure water is kept away from the footings.
Concrete pour is complete, ready to instal the anchor bolts.
Fastfoot® is ideal for the interior footings as the membrane prevents ground moisture wicking up into the home.
Interior slab has been poured, basement interior walls complete, ready for floor panels.
Floor, wall and roof panels were delivered by flat deck.
The Fab-Form Monopour is ideal for panelized housing.
