Patent ID: 7980044

Claim:
A method of forming a cast-in-place window well wall of cementatious material comprising the steps of: providing first and second forming panel walls each having a plurality of forming panels for forming a foundation wall and operatively connecting the first and second forming panel walls in opposition to one another to define a concrete-receiving volume therebetween; positioning a window buck between the first and second forming panel walls to define a window opening and inhibit the passage of poured concrete into the window opening; providing first and second forming panel modules, each of said modules including at least inner and outer sections complementally configured to one another to present concrete-receiving surfaces in opposition; operatively coupling said first and second forming panel modules to each other and to one of the first and second forming panel walls to provide a concrete-receiving channel which extends outwardly from and fluidically communicates with said concrete-receiving volume, and is opposite to and extends laterally across said window opening to provide a window well between the channel and the volume; pouring cementatious material into one of the channel and the volume and flowing concrete from the one of the channel and the volume into the other of the channel and the volume; and allowing the cementatious material to cure and removing the forming panel walls, the window buck, and the forming panel modules whereby a self-sustaining poured-in-place window well wall is monolithic with a wall formed by cementatious material received in the volume and positioned opposite to and in spaced relationship from the window opening.
