Abstract: A wall form tie retrieval system is disclosed that provides a wall form tie casing. The casing can be a channel sized to fit between two assembled concrete wall forms. A lid can be manufactured to fit on the channel to surround the wall form tie when assembled. The wall form tie secures the two concrete wall forms together and the channel can space the forms apart a predetermined distance. The channel can have an open side and a lid to engage the open side of the channel such that placement of the lid substantially encloses the wall tie. After concrete is poured and cured, the wall form tie can be removed from the casing and re-used. The plastic or reinforced paper wall tie casings can be manufactured for a fraction of the cost of the metal ties, thus saving money in the construction of concrete walls.
