I want to build a concrete wall that is 56.5 ft long and 4 ft high from the top of the wall to the bottom of the trench, that is, total height including the footing. The wall will be 10 in wide and the footing will be 20 in wide by 8 in. (or 10) deep. It will take 7.5 yards for both the wall and footing. The footing alone will take about 2 yards. If they bring 7 yards will be chipper that if I order 2 plus 5. Then, I would have to pour footing and wall at the same time. Would the concrete stay in the forms up to a height of 4 ft? Or would if flow out through the bottom? Also, since the wall slopes by 3.5 ft over 56 ft, will the concrete run to the lower side?
Than you
