Product Description
Tilt-Up Construction
Tilt-up is a job-site form of precast concrete construction. It
involves prefabricating concrete wall sections (panels) flat on either
the building floor slab or on a temporary casting slab, then lifting or
tilting them up and carrying them to their final position with a mobile
crane. Once they are in position, the panels are temporarily braced
until they are tied into the roof and floor system and become an
integral part of the completed structure.
It is a fast, simple, and economical method of construction, which
has been used extensively for single and multi-story structures.
Today, walls of up to four stories in height are being cast and tilted
into position. Currently, there have been several instances of wall
panels as high as six stories being cast and erected by the tilt-up
method of construction.
The economic benefits of tilt-up lie in its simplicity of construction.
The critical factors in this method of construction are handled in the
pre-construction planning stage. Skill in laying out panel erection
sequences and designing safe lifting elements which fully utilize
crane time will provide for the effective and safe completion of the job.
