A new and novel process for constructing longitudinal concrete members such as beams by providing a longitudinal sack like mold constructed from a pliable sheet or sheets having an open throat supported by an open rim frame in turn supported by a plurality of inverted "U" shaped supports spaced apart one from another while in a common straight alignment while the supports rest upon an equipment base. The concrete members being either removed from the sack like mold, or the member being a cast in place member with the mold acting as a casing or protective skin. The sack like mold being a hybrid sling because of being provided with a long under loop support on which the loop portion of the true sling rests.

A gang form in which a single or a plurality of precast concrete beams will be molded at one time, the gang form comprising a first and two second vertical walls, the first wall being a straight wall, the two second walls spaced apart one from another extend transversely away from the first wall while having an end abutting the first wall, a tier or tiers of precast concrete beams being molded by placing fluid concrete into a mold compartment comprising the top surface of either a starter slab or a previously precast beam, a longitudinal segmental strip of a vertical surface of the first wall or the vertical surface of a previously constructed tier and an individual mold side member, which side member is restrained by restraint means placed exterior of said mold compartment, the restraint means allowing the individual mold side member to be adjusted vertically while also being adjusted horizontally at various distances apart from a face of the first wall, the precast concrete beams while molded in their mold compartment are in an unnatural first arrangement with the natural sides of the beams being superimposed one upon another, in the first arrangement the natural top and bottom of the beams are molded against one or the other of a vertical face of the first wall or against the individual mold side member, the vertical faces of the first wall and the interior face of the individual mold side member being so constructed to imprint either a plain smooth surface or a special corrugated surface to the natural top and bottom surfaces of the precast concrete beams when being molded in their unnatural first arrangement.
