Tie system for forming poured concrete walls over concrete footings

A tie system configured to support a first panel structure and a second panel structure for forming a wall from a hardenable pourable building material, the tie system comprising:

• multiple ties configured to be directly interconnected into a vertically extending tie stack such that multiple tie stacks can be positioned over a footing in a spaced and separate arrangement, the multiple tie stacks configured to extend substantially perpendicular between substantially parallel panel structures of the first and second panel structures, each of the tie stacks including:
• a base portion having a longitudinal length including an elongated portion extending between a first end portion and a second end portion, the first end portion having a first attachment portion and a first support portion to define a first channel therebetween configured to receive the first panel structure, the second end portion having a second attachment portion and a second support portion to define a second channel therebetween configured to receive the second panel structure, the first attachment portion and the second attachment portion configured to extend vertically upward and perpendicular relative to the longitudinal length of the base portion;
• and
• a wall portion including a first elongated wall portion and a second elongated wall portion with a cross-member portion rigidly connected and extending therebetween, the first elongated wall portion configured to extend vertically from and directly interconnect to the first attachment portion of the base portion and the second elongated wall portion configured to extend vertically from and directly interconnect to the second attachment portion of the base portion, the first elongated wall portion having a first planar surface and the second elongated wall portion having a second planar surface, the first planar surface facing directly opposite from the second planar surface, the first planar surface of the first elongated wall portion being configured to be directly fastened to the first panel structure and the second elongated wall portion being configured to be directly fastened to the second panel structure.

A wall forming system configured to interconnect substantially parallel panel structures including a first panel structure and a second panel structure in preparation to pouring a hardenable pourable building material between the substantially parallel panel structures over a footing, the wall forming system comprising:

• a plurality of base ties each having a longitudinal length including an elongated portion extending between a first end portion and a second end portion, each of the plurality of base ties including an underside surface extending continuously and planar along the longitudinal length and as the underside surface of each of the elongated portion and the first and second end portions, the underside surface of each of the plurality of base ties configured to be directly secured to an upper surface of the footing such that the plurality of base ties are oriented laterally along a length of a footing in a spaced arrangement;
• and
• a plurality of wall ties, each wall tie being configured to be interconnected to another wall tie to assemble multiple wall tie stacks, each wall tie stack configured to be stacked vertically to one base tie of the plurality of base ties;
• wherein each of the plurality of wall ties includes a first elongated wall portion and a second elongated wall portion with a cross-member portion rigidly connected and extending between the first and second elongated wall portions, the first elongated wall portion including a first planar surface and the second elongated wall portion including a second planar surface, the first planar surface facing directly opposite from the second planar surface, the first and second elongated wall portions each configured to be longitudinally oriented in a substantially vertical direction, and each of the first planar surface and the second planar surface configured to be fastened directly to an inside facing surface of the first panel structure and an inside facing surface of the second panel structure, respectively, such that each wall tie is positioned entirely between the parallel panel structures.
