Con­crete pump­ing has changed the way con­trac­tors place con­crete on job sites. Rather than haul­ing heavy loads in wheel­bar­rows or rely­ing on cranes and buck­ets, a con­crete pump deliv­ers liq­uid con­crete through a sys­tem of hoses, pipes, or booms — direct­ly to the point of place­ment.

The project is a key fea­ture and gath­er­ing place in a small city that is plan­ning sub­stan­tial city-wide rede­vel­op­ment. The new 11-screen the­ater is a focal point of this effort and has intro­duced the region to ICF and the ben­e­fits of build­ing with this method.

Fox Blocks has been mak­ing insu­lat­ed con­crete forms since 2005. Our par­ent com­pa­ny, Air­lite Plas­tics, was found­ed in 1946, and today, it is still a fam­i­ly owned busi­ness. Air­lite pro­duces plas­tic con­tain­ers and insu­lat­ed pack­ag­ing prod­ucts for a vari­ety of indus­tries, so we share knowl­edge of plas­tics inno­va­tion through­out the com­pa­ny.

Our par­ent com­pa­ny, Air­lite Plas­tics, cre­ates plas­tic prod­ucts for a vari­ety of appli­ca­tions – so we have a con­stant sup­ply of first-gen­er­a­tion recy­cled mate­r­i­al. And since it’s right here in our facil­i­ties, we work toward the small­est car­bon foot­print pos­si­ble.

Fox Blocks con­tributed to a fam­i­ly prop­er­ty along the Fish Riv­er near the Alaba­ma Gulf Coast.

Debunk the most com­mon ICF home prob­lems myths and uncov­er the real facts about insu­lat­ed con­crete form con­struc­tion and per­for­mance.

Project cost is one of the most dif­fi­cult — and most impor­tant — esti­ma­tions for any con­struc­tion com­pa­ny to get right. You want to be able to set man­age­able expec­ta­tions for your client, but also present a bud­get that is attrac­tive enough for them to choose you as their gen­er­al or sub-con­trac­tor while still mak­ing a prof­it your­self.

Dis­cov­ery is one of the four schools to receive the zero ener­gy cer­ti­fi­ca­tion, nation­wide.
