ABSTRACT:
A concrete footing/foundation retainment co-features integral (unitary) drainage means. Two preferred embodiments present, first, a rigid, environmentally nondegradable and free-standable footing/foundation concrete retainment form similar to an ordinary plank but featuring a hollow core which communicates through a multiplicity of foramens (holes) with only one face of the plank, the other being smooth and generally unrelieved in character. The second preferred embodiment presents a similar plank bearing a colinear, foraminous conduit adjacent one margin of the plank and permanently joined with the plank member. Thus, in the second embodiment, only one face is essentially smooth and unrelieved, while the other, in cross-section, appears bulbous. The bulbous feature may take on any conceivable geometric definition ranging from a semi-tubular to a rectangular conduit shape. The invention is composed of a material that lends itself, not only to environmental nondegradability, but also to ready cutting, melting or abrading. This feature allows the forms, when set as a footing/foundation retainment, to be miter-cut and, thereafter staked in place with, or without, subsequent gluing or welding by known adhesive or heating means.
