Third Step
- Tilting the Concrete Panels into Place - Tilt-up Construction!
The
tilt-up concrete panels are poured into forms that provide the exact size, shape
and door openings to meet the design specifications. The tilt-up panels can be
massive; this concrete panel weighs about 50,000 pounds. The largest concrete
panel used for a tilt-up construction project weighed six times as much, over
150 tons. Photo

The
moble crane lifts the tilt-up panel and tilts it into position over the footing.
The row of concrete panels already in place give evidence to just how fast the
process for putting up tilt-up panels goes. An experienced crew can tilt up as
many as 30 concrete panels a day. Photo

help to guide the tilt-up panel and keep the braces from getting tangled in the

Once the concrete panel is set in place,
the crew attaches the braces to the slab to keep the panel standing until it is
attached to the other tilt-up panels and the roofing system. Photo
