How does the IFCW work? • Base plate embeds are sunk deep into a poured concrete foundation. • The anchored embeds secure vertical parting support posts.
How does the IFCW work? • When wall is down, nothing but the storage bolts are visible. • Storage bolts are either headed or headless, depending on access requirements.
How does the IFCW work? • Vertical parting supports are lifted into place, and anchor bolts are secured into embeds • In a typical installation, 3 workers can erect 1200 sq. ft. in 2 hours
How does the IFCW work? • Unique base planks are fitted with specialized gaskets, and orient the wet/dry side. • Gaskets are on dry side, so planks fill during flooding, increasing stability and integrity
How does the IFCW work? • The patented plank design features a tongue and groove system • Side thrust resistant
How does the IFCW work? • Extruded aluminum planks simply stack vertically • Planks weigh 5 lbs/lf, easily handled by two people • No cranes or heavy machinery required for typical erection
• Multi-plank installation
How does the IFCW work? • Compression channels attached to posts are ratcheted into set position, forcing the plank face into tight contact with the vertical seal.
How does the IFCW work? • Hold-down clamps are used to squeeze the planks against each other, sealing the system horizontally
How does the IFCW work? • For an IFCW™ over 6' in height, diagonal braces are positioned on both intermediate and parting supports • A pin connected floating foot is threaded to accept the tension rod for adjusting the parting supports.
How does the IFCW work? • Wall dimensions – 3500 lineal feet, 8 - 10 ft. high
How does the IFCW work? • The installation includes several corner post installations

How does the IFCW work? • Project also includes specially designed half wall area
How is the IFCW stored? • The easy stacked and palletization of IFCW components translates to minimal storage requirements • Warehouse requires only cover, heat is unnecessary
