Coming out of the ground on schedule with landmark ICF project in Durham, NC.

Construction began on the largest Insulating Concrete Form building in North Carolina, a 286 room dormitory in Durham, on April 15, 2010. The following pictures illustrate the 10-day period of ICF assembly, reinforcement, bracing, and concrete placement for the South Wing basement portion.

Footings poured and ready for forms.

First course of forms laid out.

After starting stacking a day late, pour day is right on schedule.

This is the day after the pour. All bracing has been removed making room for other subs, and the crew moves on to the North Wing.
