PROGRAM

Through our one hour presentation, we plan to provide a general, basic overview of site cast, tilt-up concrete wall construction as well as display examples of creative uses of tilt up from architectural projects we have recently designed. Our presentation will include slides of a 93-foot tall panel, one of our projects, which at the time of construction was recognized by the Tilt-Up Concrete Association as the tallest panel in the United States. We will also show examples of innovative and unique uses of tilt-up construction on some of our other projects, as well as illustrate the potential creativity and flexibility that can be achieved through the use of this system through the wide variation in finishes and architectural treatments of the tilt-up wall panels of these projects.

We will be able to offer useful information related to constructability, speed of construction, general tilt-up construction techniques and the cost effectiveness and other advantages offered by tilt-up compared to other wall systems such as CMU and metal wall studs. In addition, the basics of the structural and detailing of panels.
