Insulated poured wall system

A method of forming an insulated concrete wall, comprising:

• arranging a plurality of wall forms in spaced relationship to form opposing wall surfaces defining a cavity;
• arranging insulating panels adjacent one of the opposing wall surfaces;
• and
• arranging a plurality of elongate retaining strips between adjacent insulating panels, wherein each of the elongate retaining strips includes a web portion that projects into the cavity and a flange portion that is at a right angle with respect to the web portion.

An insulated poured concrete wall comprising:

• a concrete wall having opposing wall surfaces;
• a plurality of insulating panels arranged adjacent at least one of the opposing wall surfaces;
• and
• a plurality of spaced-apart, elongate retaining strips engaging the insulation panels, the elongate retaining strips having a web portion embedded in the concrete wall and a flange portion that is at a right angle with respect to the web portion.

A system for forming an insulated poured concrete wall, comprising:

• spaced-apart wall forms forming opposing wall surfaces that define a cavity;
• a plurality of vertically and horizontally spaced-apart wall ties extending between the opposing wall forms;
• a plurality of insulating panels arranged adjacent at least one of the opposing wall surfaces, each of the insulating panels having opposite vertical edges and a groove recessed into each of the vertical edges;
• and
• an elongate retaining strip between each of the adjacent insulating panels, each elongated retaining strip having a flange portion extending into the grooves of adjacent vertical edges of the insulating panel and at least one notch through which a wall tie passes.

A method of forming an insulated concrete wall, comprising:

• arranging a plurality of wall forms in spaced relationship to form opposing wall surfaces defining a cavity;
• arranging in vertically and horizontally spaced-apart relationship wall ties extending between the opposing wall forms;
• arranging insulating panels adjacent at least one of the opposing wall surfaces, each of the insulating panels having opposite vertical edges and a groove recessed into each of the vertical edges;
• and
• arranging elongate retaining strips between adjacent insulating panels, each of the elongate retaining strips having a flange portion extending into the grooves of adjacent vertical edges of the insulating panels and at least one notch through which a wall tie passes.

An insulated poured concrete wall, comprising:

• a concrete wall having opposing wall surfaces;
• a plurality of vertically and horizontally spaced wall ties contained within the concrete wall and extending between the opposing wall surfaces;
• a plurality of intersecting panels arranged adjacent at least one of the opposing wall surfaces, each of the insulating panels having opposite vertical edges and a groove recessed into each of the vertical edges;
• and
• a plurality of elongate retaining strips between each of the adjacent insulating panels, each elongate retaining strip having a flange portion extending into the grooves of adjacent vertical edges of the insulating panels and at least one notch through which a wall tie passes.
