| 20120031027 | Wall Construction System and Method - Systems and methods are provided for constructing a wall structure that is adapted to be secured to roof structure. A wall cavity is formed that extends from a foundation to the top of the wall structure. A reinforcement member (e.g., rebar) is provided that extends continuously through the wall structure, where the reinforcement member is secured at one end within said foundation and at the other end to said roof structure. A first material (e.g., polystyrene or an admixture of coal-ash and concrete) is disposed within said wall cavity from the foundation to a location below (e.g., 10 inches below) the top of the wall structure. A second material (e.g., 3000 to 4000 PSI concrete) is disposed within the wall cavity from the location to the top of the wall structure. The wall structure may be formed from, for example, hollow-core concrete blocks or parallel sheets of fibrous wallboard (backer-board). | 02-09-2012 |
| 20130000234 | MODULAR ENTRANCE FLOOR SYSTEM - A modular entrance floor system comprising a plurality of floor sections, the plurality of floor sections being disposed adjacent each other and defining a perimeter of an entrance floor area. Each floor section includes a base plate permanently coupled to a foundation, and a surface plate removably attached to the base plate. The surface plate has at least one drain feature. The plurality of floor sections are configured such that the surface plate of a first floor section is interchangeable with the surface plate of a second floor section, independent of the adjacent floor sections. | 01-03-2013 |
| 20130014458 | WALL STRUCTURE HAVING PREFABRICATED, PERMANENT FORMAANM Boydstun, IV; Robert D.AACI ClackamasAAST ORAACO USAAGP Boydstun, IV; Robert D. Clackamas OR USAANM Hanson; LorenAACI PortlandAAST ORAACO USAAGP Hanson; Loren Portland OR USAANM Huey; JohnAACI MilwaukieAAST ORAACO USAAGP Huey; John Milwaukie OR US - The present disclosure concerns embodiments of a wall structure that can be formed from one or more permanent wall forms (or formworks). The wall forms can be prefabricated at a factory or shop in a controlled environment and then shipped to the job site. Construction of the wall structure at the job site generally entails positioning the wall forms at the desired location for the wall structure and then filling the wall forms with concrete. When the concrete cures, the wall forms are not removed and become a permanent part of the wall structure. | 01-17-2013 |
| 20130031857 | Anchor system for securing a concrete wall panel to a supporting concrete foundation - A cast concrete wall panel is secured to a concrete foundation by an anchor system which includes a steel base plate embedded adjacent the bottom surface of the wall panel and welded to a tapered channel projecting upwardly adjacent the inner surface of the wall panel to define a cavity. Reinforcing bars have bottom ends welded to the base plate and project upwardly into the concrete wall panel, and a hole is formed in the base plate at the bottom of the cavity. The hole receives a self-tapping concrete anchor bolt which is driven into a hole drilled within the foundation at an acute angle less than twelve degrees and preferably about six degrees from vertical. The channel has a removable cap to prevent concrete from entering the cavity during casting of the wall panel and to provide a decorative inside cover for the cavity after installing the anchor bolt. | 02-07-2013 |
| 20130326977 | STUD FRAME WALL SYSTEM - A wall is provided with a plurality of stud frames disposed in at least one row, an outer layer, an inner layer, and an insulation layer.

| 20140298739 | SECONDARY CONTAINMENT AREA PANELS - The present invention is directed to an apparatus and method for constructing a secondary containment for above ground storage units. A site is selected for the storage unit and preparing the foundation bed. A containment wall comprised of a plurality of joined panels is constructed. The panels have a wall joined to a foot, with the wall being substantially planar and comprised of rigid material and the foot being joined to the bottom section of the wall. The foot is substantially planar and comprised of rigid material, extending angularly and inwardly from the wall. The plurality of the panels are joined in a closed geometric configuration to form a containment wall, presenting an interior region. A liner is secured in the interior region and a protective coating is applied to the interior region of the containment wall. | 10-09-2014 |
| 20150020468 | CLEANROOM WALL PANEL SYSTEM, AND METHOD - A cleanroom wall panel system is provided for defining the perimeter or interior divisions of a cleanroom. The system includes a plurality of elongate retainer elements, which are mounted to wall studs, and a plurality of wall panels with hook portions configured to engage the elongate retainer elements. The retainer elements and/or wall panels may be oriented at either of two different orientations, and further are designed to accommodate some variations in the positioning of the components relative to one another, which facilitates assembly of the wall panel assembly. Each wall panel's weight is supported, either directly or indirectly, by a floor surface located below the wall panel, so that the hook portions are used primarily to secure the wall panels against the retainer elements. | 01-22-2015 |
