Tilt-Up construction is a construction technique whereby reinforced concrete panels are cast on-site then tilted into position. These panels become the load-bearing structural components and eliminate the need for columns. Tilt-Up Construction Advantages: * Cost & Value: Tilt-Up has repeatedly proven to be more economical than competing construction methods for similar types of buildings. * Safety, Security and Durability: Tilt-Up concrete structures have unmatched durability and fire-resistance. Tilt-Up structures constructed 60 years ago show few signs of aging today. * Speed: Once the floor slab is placed, the elapsed time from forming the panels to completion of the building shell is typically 4-5 weeks. * Versatility: Tilt-Up buildings can be used for any size of application, from a portable classroom to a one million square foot production facility. A variety of finishes provide excellent aesthetic options. * Efficiency: SiteCast's sandwich wall Tilt-Up concrete panels offer an R-value of up to R41.5, far exceeding that of wood or steel buildings. Air-tightness, minimal joints, thermal mass and quality control are all factors that result in an average energy savings of 20-60%. * Expandability: Tilt-Up concrete panels can be designed for relocation, allowing for the expansion or relocation of a facility. xample. As the name implies, wall panels, including door and window openings, are cast in forms on the floor slab and simply tilted into position. Once the walls are up, they are tied together with cast-in-place concrete columns or other fastening devices. This system is cost-effective as long as the home features mostly right angles ... curves and intricate wall configurations are best left to other methods.
