[Ferro List] Finding someone in my state

[Jon Sherbeck]

Leslie,
I was going to build with EPS/wire panels and had the idea of using 
"Superstrut" channels to provide mounting hard points.  Superstrut is the 
channel plumbers and electricians use to mount pipes and conduits.  The EPS 
would be melted back to allow the Superstrut to be inserted behind the face 
mesh, and then a fender washer or plate would clamp the Superstrut to the 
face mesh before shotcreteing.  With appropriate washers/masking this could 
be used to create a bolt that would exposed after finishing and could be 
removed to expose the nut which would be molded into the wall with the super 
strut to distribute applied loads in the wall.
