01 Formed concrete specialists
The concrete work that becomes part of the building.
Ox Forms concentrates on concrete poured into forms rather than general flatwork. That focus matters when a wall has to carry weight, hold back soil, manage water pressure or protect the space inside it.
Every project begins with the plans and the site. Reinforcement, openings, drainage, waterproofing and access are considered before the concrete is placed, so the work is coordinated with what comes next.

Discuss this service03 Why poured concrete
One continuous wall. Fewer places for problems to begin.
Poured walls are built as a continuous reinforced element. For foundations, basements and retaining applications, that can provide practical advantages over a wall assembled from separate masonry units.
01No mortar joints
Fewer seams that can separate, deteriorate or provide a path for moisture over time.
02Strength under pressure
A continuous reinforced wall distributes structural loads and resists lateral soil pressure.
03Planned as a system
Openings, anchors, utilities, waterproofing and drainage can be coordinated before the pour.

04 Local knowledge
East Tennessee sites require more than a standard answer.
Clay, rock, changing water tables, steep grades and heavy rain all affect how concrete work should be planned. Ox Forms brings experience with the region into conversations about excavation, reinforcement, drainage, waterproofing and backfill.

Actual Ox Forms project05 Storm shelters
Protection should be considered before the concrete is poured.
Ox Forms builds reinforced concrete storm shelters for homes, businesses and community facilities. Options can include above-ground safe rooms, underground shelters and reinforced areas integrated into a basement.
Placement, access, drainage, ventilation, the door system and the number of people using the space need to be considered together. Ox Forms can help coordinate the concrete portion around the plans and applicable guidance.
Talk about a shelter project06 The work
A disciplined process before, during and after the pour.
Review
Plans, site conditions, access, intended use and schedule are reviewed before the work is priced and coordinated.
Prepare
Footings, forms, openings and reinforcing steel are laid out carefully before concrete arrives.
Pour
Concrete is placed and consolidated inside the forms, then protected while it develops strength.
Complete
Forms are stripped, the wall is checked, and specified waterproofing or drainage work is coordinated before backfill.
