Our System

Port-O-Wall Systems pre-casts the vertical elements of a traditional cast-in-place structure.  Only the foundation is cast-in-place.  Our patented walls are pre-cast with a "window" or Port in the base of the wall.  The steel and concrete of the foundation pass around and through the Ports to form a continuous steel-reinforced monolithic structure. 

The resultant structure is equivalent to structures created using traditional cast-in-place methods.  Port-O-Wall Systems eliminates the need for elaborate forms or falsework.  Port-O-Wall Systems can be anchored to any number of foundations such as spread footings for soundwalls, "L" footings for retaining walls, or pile footings for our walls which incorporate an integral collision barrier.  Mating Tongue & Groove on the panels edges aid alignment and enhance shear strength.

Port-O-Wall Systems' components are manufactured by regional Port-O-Wall licensed pre-casters.

The jobsite is readied by preparing a form for the foundation.  In most soils this is done simply by excavating a neat-line trench.  The panels are shipped by truck.  A crane lifts the panels into the trench as the crew guides the panel into the mating groove on the adjacent panel.  The panels are held in place temporarily by pipe braces.  Next the reinforcing steel is placed in the foundation and through the Port.  Lastly the concrete is poured into the foundation.  This step creates a continuous wall top-to-bottom and beginning-to-end.

Crews can install Port-O-Wall Systems walls at about 200 linear feet per day.  After the concrete cures the braces are removed.  The wall is now ready for adjoining construction or landscaping . . . . Done.
