How does the ICF block get secured to the foundation?
The ICF blocks are held in place with either low expansion spray foam or a metal starter track. The bracing/alignment system, typically installed after the 4th course of block, also supports the ICFs in place. Once the concrete is in the wall there is no concern with the forms moving.
