Abstract:
An apparatus and method for the rapid perimeter screed bulkhead forming of concrete tilt-up wall panels are provided. The apparatus includes a unitary formboard support, a formboard, and a fastener. The unitary formboard support includes a base, which includes a fastener passageway through the base, and two upright walls connected to the base, which form an open channel. The unitary formboard support can be attached to a casting surface or concrete floor by the fastener which passes through the fastener passageway and secures the unitary formboard support. The bottom end of the formboard is fit within the open channel of the unitary formboard support and held in position by the upright walls. Further provided is a method of casting concrete providing a unitary formboard support, fastening the unitary formboard support to a casting surface or concrete floor with a fastener that transits through the fastener passageway, providing a formboard, inserting the bottom end of a formboard within the open channel such that the formboard is held in position by the upright walls of the unitary formboard support, and pouring concrete on the exterior side of the formboard, such that the concrete is maintained in position by the unitary formboard support and the formboard.
