I'm about to do a 14'-6" high Nudura wall, and I know that this is pushing it!! Reason being: we have a frost wall, the main floor, and the ledger for the second that all needs to be poured as one so that we can form the second and third floors from the floor system (OWWJ, 3/4" plywood, etc.) Just wondering if anyone on here has any experience with ICF walls @ this height, and would love to hear any tips or stories from past pours. Everything is on a 20"W footing W/ piles underneath, we'll be using a continuous kicker (we usually don't for a 8-9' wall), and 12' ICF braces with small 2x4 extensions. The top row for this pour (one with ledger in it) will be braced from the outside as we have to make room for 2x10 ledgers... It's going to be interesting, but I think that with about 5 lifts out of the pump truck and some over-bracing we can pull it off. What do you think?

How thick is the concrete in the walls? 6", 8", or what? How much rebar is in the walls (vertical and horizontal spacing)? Are you planning on consolidating the concrete internally with a vibrator? If so, do you have one that is long enough? |

If you have a window or door start there. Gravelling can be a problem. |

We just poured a wall exactly like that last week without a problem. If you follow what Nudura recommends, you will be fine. |
