A 150-year-old grain­ery build­ing was trans­formed into a restau­rant and micro­brew­ery in Ontario by a cou­ple look­ing to revi­tal­ize their com­mu­ni­ty and join the up-and-com­ing craft beer mar­ket.

The con­crete mix is a high slump 5″- 6.5″ (125 mm – 165 mm) with a small­er aggre­gate size so the con­crete flows eas­i­ly. The per­son in charge of plac­ing the con­crete should watch the con­crete flow through­out the whole wall to ensure there are no void pock­ets. Inter­nal vibrat­ing pro­vides good con­sol­i­da­tion, elim­i­nat­ing voids.

No. Spec­i­fi­ca­tions in the Amer­i­ca Con­crete Insti­tute (ACI) do not lim­it the max­i­mum dis­tance con­crete can free fall. Engi­neer­ing stud­ies and reports have shown that free fall from up to 35′ doesn’t reduce con­crete qual­i­ty and there is no evi­dence of seg­re­ga­tion or weak­ened con­crete strength. ICF con­crete design calls for a high slump mix which assists in reduc­ing seg­re­ga­tion.

We’ve com­piled a list of zero-ener­gy homes that incor­po­rate sus­tain­able con­struc­tion into the build­ing process. The results are 5 facil­i­ties that prove zero net ener­gy can be achieved with care­ful plan­ning and appro­pri­ate imple­men­ta­tion.

Fox Blocks Com­pact offers more eco­nom­i­cal ship­ping costs by deliv­er­ing flat. Ties can then be insert­ed eas­i­ly into the pan­els at the job­site. This com­pact prod­uct is designed to stack seam­less­ly with the tra­di­tion­al Fox Blocks line.

For proven strength and per­for­mance, the Fox Blocks Series is the basis for suc­cess­ful foun­da­tions, walls and build­ings.

Fire Sta­tion 107 has been fea­tured in sev­er­al mag­a­zine arti­cles won an ICF builder award and an award from Sta­tion Style mag­a­zine.

Pow­ell Coun­ty Emer­gency Oper­a­tions Cen­ter is designed to meet FEMA require­ments for chem­i­cal agent emer­gen­cies and storm resis­tance.

Fox Blocks helped meet these needs and chal­lenges of this pub­lic project serv­ing the entire Phoenix met­ro­pol­i­tan area.
