PVC forms
Octaform Systems Inc., has developed a new forming system that encloses concrete with PVC.
The technology can be used in a variety of construction projects and is ideal for industrial and agricultural applications such as liquid manure tanks, aquaculture tanks, barns and foundation walls. Pre-shaped Octaform panels are easy to attach and can be used to build circular, square or rectangular structures. Once attached, the panels form a rigid, water-tight holding system that acts as a concrete form. The plastic exterior remains in place after the concrete has matured and provides a smooth, flat, bacteria- resistant surface that is easy to clean and maintain.
