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 cement 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.

| 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 cement panels a day.

Once the cement 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.
