Company President Sandy Sanford, Jr. came to B.E.P. Forming with a large barrier wall project located along Interstate 575 in Canton, Georgia. Up until this time, aluminum forms had never been used on any types of road construction, much less, D.O.T. projects. The project consisted of a one mile long, 10’ high and 21” thick poured-in-place barrier wall on a 6’ wide, formed-in-place footing. After some discussion, because of short wall work later on in the project, a 5’ x 10’ rotating B.E.P. BIG PANEL was chosen for the job. The panels were built with a new .190 (3/16”) thick face-sheet to help minimize deflection. The 5’ x 10’ Rotators were bolted together to create a 40’ long gang. The B.E.P. POWER Taper Tie System was custom made in 21” long increments. Sanford stated, “Even the very first pour went excellent, but after 2 or 3 cycles, my crew was very experienced at stripping, setting and pouring their section of wall every day way ahead of schedule.” The wall was poured out of a 40’ creteveyor ready-mix truck and was vibrated with stinger vibrators from the top. Sanford also reported that the Georgia D.O.T. on-site inspectors were extremely pleased with the wall finish and flatness and that they had never before seen anything quite like the B.E.P. Forming System. We at B.E.P. Forming are very proud to be a part of Blount-Sanford’s success and we look forward to many more exciting jobs to come. Scott Webb of Webb Concrete Construction, located in Independence, Iowa is another new recent owner of B.E.P. Forms. They specialize in residential and commercial concrete construction. Scott Webb came to B.E.P. Forming with a real need to expand his commercial wall division from everyday residential. His choice in his size of forms was easy; our most popular sizes, 8’ x 12’ and 4’ x 12’ BIG PANELS. Scott, with help from B.E.P. Forming, designed and built a drop-deck hauler to pull behind his semi-truck. Their first project was a 1,500 foot long, 8’ high retaining and privacy wall for Cedar Falls Utilities. The other unique part of this project was the wall had to have a specified stone liner face. Scott reported that the job went very smoothly due in part to the B.E.P. BIG PANELS and his workers ability to attach plywood to the B.E.P. panels, and then staple the disposable form liner on each 24’ gang section. After each pour, one gang was kept ready for the next pour ahead of the crew. Also, the POWER Taper Tie reduced tie hassle and labor because the crew could simply drill through the plywood and liner face to insert the B.E.P. POWER Ties. Scott is very excited about using his B.E.P. Panels on other commercial jobs that he is currently bidding. Keep up the good work Scott!
