General

Our tooling and production teams are always thinking creatively to come up with new methods for form liner production and new form liner applications to meet the demands of today’s challenging projects.  Learning how to create a custom pedestal for a lamp post on a freeway was no exception.

We just finished working with CC Myers on the I-5 Carmenita project that required us to think a little outside the box to come up with a large custom pedestal/corbel. We’ve made longer, and we’ve made higher panels before, but manufacturing parts that were both cumbersome in the height and length as well as the depth was a fun challenge. The liner is about 4′ long x 4′ high, and a little over 2′ wide! Coming up with a form liner solution for the corbel was key because it was a cost savings for CC Myers. Manufacturing the lamp post pedestal using an urethane form liner tool saved the contractor having to waste a couple of weeks trying to use carpentry to fabricate the tool. Additionally, the urethane liner can be used over and over again for additional cost savings.

Have something custom or a little funky you need help designing or building for your project? Give us a call, we’re happy to help!

Our pattern 1587 California Drystack was used on a project in Lakehead, CA, Antlers Underpass. This pattern is comprised of two matching tools, A and B, that can be rotated, flipped, and stacked with one another to allow for maximum utility on a project.

Our Elastospec Lite, semi-elastomeric material, was used on this project. The versatile material was tooled in 4×8 sheets that were used flawlessly to wrap around a wall corner.

Granite Construction used our 1107 Mission Flute pattern on a CalTrans project in Humboldt County. Fabricated from our ElastoSpec Lite, the form liner was used on columns and wingwalls.

The ElastoSpec Lite material was able to be manufactured in custom sized panels to minimize seams and cutting in the field. Utilizing our ElastoSpec Lite allowed the contractor to meet specifications for Semi-Elastomeric Material, and have a workable material for the field that would allow custom sizes, easy instillation, and easy trimming/cutting, rather than using solid urethane backed to plywood.

Even though our 1505 ABS Plastic Madera Flagstone form liner has hand crafted matched points, the contractor did a perfect job of liner installation and caulking prior to casting this nearly flawless set of walls.

Our brick pattern 1323 is a great addition to our pattern line up. This realistic looking liner not only perfectly represents real wire cut brick, but it also can be purchased for a fraction of the cost of real masonry and can be simply and efficiently integrated into your tilt-up, cast-in-place, and precast projects.
