Tilt-Up Construction
Conventional Construction

• ADVANTAGES
• Durability - Buildings constructed in the
  1940s show little
• sign of aging.
• Low Maintenance - Paint and joint sealant to
  be needed
• every 6-8 years.
• Fire Rating - Concrete meets all fire ratings.
  A 6 1/2 wall
• has a 4 hour rating.
• Lower Insurance Rates - The fire resistance of
  tilt up
• concrete walls results in lower premiums.
• Speed - Construction duration from time floor
  is cast to
• complete panel erection is 4-6 weeks.
• Security - The only forced entry is through a
  door or
• window.

• ADVANTAGES
• No Site Constraints
• More Architectural Flexibility
• No Project size constraints

DISADVANTAGES / LIMITATIONS Requires level
floor Site Constraints No floor slabs
Basements Certain Plans
DISADVANTAGES / LIMITATIONS Winter
Conditions difficult to heat vertical walls
Long lead time on materials / Delivery Delays
Extended construction period More susceptible
to vandalism and weather conditions

Process
13
Step 1Slab Preparation

• Slab is thoroughly cleaned.
• All construction joints are filled to ensure a
  clean and smooth impression.

14
Step 2Layout and Dimension

• Guidelines are snapped on the slab to mark the
  locations of panel dividers, rustifications and
  block-outs.

15
Step 3Adhesive is applied to materials

• Special contact adhesive is applied to both the
  object and the slab, and left to dry.

16
Step 4Lay Down

• Materials are laid down on the slab and pressure
  is applied to activate the adhesive.

17
Process is repeated for each element
rustification, edge forms, divider forms and
block-outs
18
Step 5Bondbreaker is Applied

• At least 3 coats of Bondbreaker is applied to
  ensure total separation of the panel from the
  slab on erection day.

19
Step 6Form Lumber is applied to the glue downs

• Concrete forms are attached to the glue down
  blocks to make the panel form.

20
Step 7Reinforcing Steel is Installed
21
Step 8Install Accessories

• Lifting anchors, beam pockets, embedded items and
  conduit sleeves are placed and tied into the
  forms and reinforcing steel.

22
Step 9Pour and Finish Panels

• Concrete is pumped into the panels and spread.
• Panel is then finished to customers
  specifications.

23
Step 10Remove Forms

• Forms are removed behind the concrete finishers.
• Lifting inserts and other imbedded items are
  located.

24
Step 11Erection Day

• Panel is rigged and raised just enough to
  separate from the slab.
• Inspection is made and erection continues.

25

• As panel is slowly raised it begins to tilt into
  the upright position.

26

• Finally the panel is set in place, and braces are
  attached to temporarily secure in the upright
  position.

27

• Panel is then shimmed and leveled to the
  strictest of tolerances.

28
Step 12Base of panels are secured

• Depending on design, the base of the panels are
  connected to the footing, plates connecting the
  panels are welded and the sills are filled with
  grout.

29
Step 13Panels are finished

• Panels are ground and patched to ensure a smooth
  finish ready for paint.
