Tilt-up Construction ProcessThe tilt-up construction process
is remarkable to watch. It's easy to be amazed as you watch the mobile crane tilt
up a 100,000 pound concrete panel from the ground and set it into its place, or
see the crew set the braces and guide the tilt-up panel with remarkable precision.
We can describe the process, discuss how attractively a tilt-up concrete building
can be when finished . . . but sometimes a picture truly does speak a thousand
words. In this section of our site, we will feature a variety
of photos showing the entire tilt-up construction process, from site preparation
and slab pouring, to setting the concrete forms and pouring tilt-up panels, to
tilting up the panels. We also display photos
of completed tilt-up construction projects to show how versatile and attractive
tilt-up concrete buildings can be. Follow the links below

the Concrete Panel Forms
Workers plan out and build the forms, then place
the rebar, embeds and inserts into the forms. |  | Pouring
the Concrete Panels
After pouring the concrete into the forms, the workers
smooth the surface. Once the concrete sets, they remove the forms. |  | Standing
the Panels
Here's where tilt-up gets its name. The crew lifts the panel
with a crane and stand it up into position, then brace it safely into place. |
