Foam in the footing as an internal form

be_steve | Posted in Building Code Questions on

Im building a small room addition here in California and am going to pour a monolith turn down footing . Im was wondering if anyone has used foam to contain to rock so it does not fall into the footing? We are in Zone 11.

Looking forward to the discussion.

Thanks Steve
