Getting Familiar with TrenchFormer TFX

Here at Form & Build, it is easy to see that our bread and butter is concrete forming. Today we are proud to bring to you another product spotlight, with this product being in our favourite realm, concrete forming. Brought to you by our trusted supplier ABT, we are thrilled to be spotlighting the one and only TrenchFormer TFX concrete forming system. This concrete forming system provides a variety of benefits and has recently taken the concrete forming market by storm.


The TrenchFormer TFX concrete forming system is described as “the original expanded polystyrene cast-in-place concrete forming system”. It differs from traditional hand-formed cast-in-place trenches through the completely customizable forming sections, allowing designers to select the width, depth, shape, and slope for any specification and project conditions. The result is a high-precision monolithic trench that is faster and easier to install. The excellent creativity that this system brings is simply unmatched, plus the ease of installation is a nice bonus too. On top of this, the concrete former is entirely removed prior to service allowing complete inspection of the workmanship and quality of the final product. While other systems conceal concrete voids, which could lead to frame collapse amongst other failures. When you combine expert cast-in-place pouring methods with the TrenchFormer TFX, the end result is a concrete U-shaped drainage channel that’s made to last.

The expanded polystyrene forms are manufactured without CFC’s and can be disposed of safely and easily.  It’s also recyclable plus The TrenchFormer TFX concrete trench drain forms reduce the amount of landfill materials associated with cast-in-place or liner systems. With heavy machinery only being involved during the excavation process, this system is not only creative, in-depth, and straightforward, its very green too!
