103 - Pre-cast Foundations

UnBuild It Podcast

One of the most interesting ways to accomplish a high-performance below-grade wall is with Precast Concrete panels. Both Steve and Pete have worked on projects using Superior Walls, the leading US manufacturer of these panels. Certainly, it is not the least expensive way to do a foundation, but this system has a ton of advantages: it is completely engineered by the manufacturer, no cast footing is needed, and it can be completed in a day (REGARDLESS of the weather…).
Pete's Resource(s):

NOTE: Jake/Steve/Pete are not aware of any other US companies that manufacture precast foundation wall panels.
