Benefits of technology
The present invention is about a system for retaining a flowable and curable building material (such as concrete) to form a portion of a foundation of a structure. The system includes side walls made of reinforcement materials and a bracket assembly for retaining the side walls in a desired configuration. A barrier is also included to prevent unwanted substances (such as soil or air) from entering the space between the foundation and the reinforcement materials. The barrier is permeable to liquids, air, or gases. The technical effect of the invention is to provide a better and more effective system for retaining top-notch building materials for use in the construction of structures.
Problems solved by technology
Gas mitigation systems can be installed after construction; however, such systems are often costly, aesthetically displeasing, cumbersome and difficult to install.
Additionally, if installation is not properly performed after construction, the installation can compromise the structure.

Embodiment Construction
General Overview:
[0070]As taught and described herein, aspects of present invention include: (1) a form system for building structural components, for example, footing, foundations and portions thereof; (2) an integral ventilation system included within the form system, which introduces conditioned air (e.g., heated, cooled, humidity controlled air) into the system and / or removes and remediates gas, moisture, and the like, from the system and soil surrounding the structural component formed with the same; (3) an integral drainage system, which in embodiments includes gravel-less features, and which captures, retains and directs a flow of liquid, such as ground and subsurface water, away from a structure, athletic fields, golf courses, and the like; and (4) in embodiments, one or more of the above described form, ventilation and drainage systems provides a barrier including thermal insulating and fire retardant characteristics.

A system for retaining a flowable and curable building material to form a portion of a foundation includes side walls disposed in a predetermined configuration having a first side wall and a second side wall, and at least one component having an interior cavity disposed in one of the side walls. A bracket assembly includes an outwardly bounding reinforcement post for each of the side walls, a separator bar having a plurality of apertures sized to receive and retain each of the reinforcement posts at locations corresponding to nominal widths of the at least one component. A barrier is disposed between the outwardly bounding posts. The barrier and the component in the side wall is retained in the foundation after the building material cures. The barrier prevents backfill from filling a volume between the outwardly bounding posts.
