January 24, 2008 - MI, United States - Imagine, if you can, inventing and patenting a system of forming a concrete foundation that not only saves time and money but results in superior end product. And also imagine not knowing how to tell those companies hungry for labor-saving products about the ingenious system.
David Zuhl, the inventor of the Modular Forming System ( US Patent # 5,922,236) , got the inspiration for his creation while doing backhoe excavation. “You have a lot of time to think creatively while sitting on that machine and digging trenches,” said Zuhl. “I began thinking about how to eliminate a lot of time and labor by pouring the footings and the wall both at the same time. Then I drew up the plans, built the MFS and used it in my own construction applications, and it was fantastic.”
The only problem was that Zuhl, who applied for and received a patent for his device, had no idea how to market it. “There are so many companies that would benefit from this but I was so busy and I’m not a marketing guy so I didn’t know how to get the word out about the MFS,” says Zuhl.
The patented “MFS” creates a geometrically superior concrete wall and footing by allowing the pouring of the concrete foundation footings and walls simultaneously. Some of the benefits are:
Prevents leakage at footing
Union between footing and wall add superior strength
Labor costs greatly reduced- no need for separate crews for walls and footings
Small jobs done in one pour instead of multiple stages
Walls set as soon as a corner is dug to grade
No concrete waste
Wall can be adjusted into a square after set in place
Rerod can be placed in footing as wall goes up
Zuhl constructed his first MFS using steel, but has recently developed an aluminum form that is much easier to transport and allows and even faster setting of the foundation.
