TILT-UP
CONSTRUCTION
01 / TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION
KEEP THE TILT-UP SCHEDULE MOVING.
Tilt-up keeps taking a bigger share of the market because it shortens schedules and gives builders more flexibility. Pocket Form Isolator helps hundreds of tilt-up users speed up their projects.

02 / UTILITY PULL BOXES
PULL BOXES WITHOUT THE HEADACHE.
Grocery stores run refrigeration lines under the slab. Convention centers, communication centers, law enforcement buildings and courthouses run cable the same way. As buildings get more technical, the need keeps growing. PFI is a practical, economical way to build those junction boxes.
✓
Nearly any shape or size
✓
Pre-drilled to your project standards, or modified in the field
✓
Orange safety lids
✓
Adapters for "edge-ledge" pull boxes that carry thin cover slabs
03 / EXPANSION JOINTS
TWO POURS THAT NEVER TOUCH.
PFI stays in place for the life of the structure and keeps two concrete pours from making contact. No expansion joint filler needed, which saves time and money and leaves a more consistent, better-looking floor joint.
✓
Separates the inner and outer pours
✓
No joint filler, fiberboard or grout line
✓
Flush with finished floor elevation
04 / SAFETY LIDS
COVER THE HOLE. KEEP THE INSPECTOR HAPPY.
Safety inspectors like PFI lids for void coverage: strong, highly visible, economical and easy to remove. They can be locked down to prevent vandalism, theft or accidental displacement.
✓
High-visibility orange, lockable
✓
Embossed top with logo and safety information
✓
Fill the emboss with sheetrock compound so it won't print on tilt-up panels
✓
Helps meet OSHA open-pit rules before the columns go up
NOTE
Lids are sold separately. If your columns go up before the blockouts are set, you may not need them, and leaving them off saves money.
COLD STORAGE
& FOOD PLANTS
05 / COLD STORAGE & FOOD PLANTS
A CLEAN JOINT WHERE IT COUNTS.
HDPE resists bonding to concrete, so PFI leaves a clean, sealed expansion joint between slabs. That makes it a fit for sanitary food processing plants and cold storage facilities.
✓
Sealed joint between slabs
✓
Clean, uniform edge at every column
✓
Works with zip-strip Void-Cap where caulking is specified
