One of the most important parts of ICF installation is concrete pumping. That’s because ICFs essentially result in cast-in-place concrete walls that are sandwiched tightly between two layers of insulation material. This method results in strong, energy-efficient systems with thick walls that provide excellent insulation. With uses ranging from residential to commercial to industrial, ICFs are becoming a more and more popular building material.
So where does concrete pumping come in? Well, the process of installing ICF systems is actually pretty similar to traditional masonry. The first step involves placing the foam forms in layers, starting at the corners, in order to build up the wall. The wall is created with uniform cavities that will allow concrete to flow through, creating flat concrete walls with a consistent thickness when the project is complete.

Once the forms have been placed, braced, and reinforced, it will be time to pump the concrete. Even with best-in-class bracing equipment like the rentals that we offer, it’s important to fill the forms at an appropriate rate based on the manufacturer’s recommendations. That will help prevent misalignment and blowouts.
