I see them all the time. They work great.

I've put a number of manufactured homes on Superior Walls and they perform really well. Like any foundation, carefull bracing must be installed if any backfilling is done prior to installing the first floor. The walls are pretty flexible and in one instance, a well meaning owner/contractor backfilled prior to setting the home and bowed the wall almost 3" in the center of a 64' span. We excavated the fill, straightened the wall and the job proceeded with no lasting damage......Greg.

Great, thanks. They are in fact under a modular.

I wonder why they're more of an E. coast thing?

Sounds like a business opportunity, Brandon.

I've already got two near full time jobs, might as well shoot for a third?

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like OR is on their list of Hot License Opportunity areas.

I should have queried: I wonder why pre-cast foundations are more of an E. coast thing......

My father put them in the last ten years of his construction career - age 70 to 80 - when he could no longer lift, tote and wrestle forms into place on his own anymore. He loved them.

I've seen quite a few of these and attended a DCA seminar on them.

This is a great system as long as the installation is correct.

The biggest problem comes after the walls are up. The framers have no idea what is required when the joists run parallel with the walls. Download the installation booklet from the web site and look at page 29. Blocking is required along this area.

I did a bank owned house where the blocking was missing, the wall bowed in and surprisingly, the bank fixed it.

If I was building a house, I'd use this system.

I see them often, mostly on larger homes. The older homes that I inspect with this system seem to always have dry basements.
