CONSTRUCTION

PROCEDURE...

Step 1Step 1Slab PreparationSlab Preparation

Cement slab is poured to create the floor, where the tilt-up panels will be created.

Step 3Step 3Preparation of MouldsPreparation of Moulds

Once the lines have been drawn, workers place brackets to outline where the tilt-up panels outside boundaries, windows and door openings will be.

STEP 4Precise placement of panels

Ensuring the exact placement of the cement forms is critical to the success of the project. The tilt-up concrete panels must be sized and positioned in precisely the right dimensions and location.

STEP 5Assembly of Construction Panels

STEP 6Application of Bond breaker

At least 3 coats of Bond breaker is applied to Ensure total separation of the panel from the slab on erection day.

STEP 7Placing the Reinforcements

Rebar is placed in the completed cement panel forms.

Ready for concrete

With the wood forms securely constructed and the rebar and embeds, inserts in place, the tilt-up concrete panels in the photo above are ready to be poured with concrete.

Step 8 Pouring the Tilt-up Construction Panels

To create each panel, workers pour the cement into the forms in a manner very similar to the way floor slabs are poured.

Once the cement has been poured, workers trowel the panels for a smooth, consistent finish

STEP 9Smoothening the surface

Workers use a variety of equipment, including power trowels, to make sure the panels are level and smooth. These concrete panels will become the exterior walls of the building, necessitating a consistent smoothness or texture on all the panels.

STEP 10STEP 10Removal of Forms work after curingRemoval of Forms work after curing

Once the concrete has cured, workers remove the wood forms and brackets to leave the tilt-up panels lined up on the floor slab.

Erection DayErection Day

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

STEP 11Erection

Workers help to guide a large mobile crane as it lifts a tilt-up concrete panel into place.

STEP 12Attachment of Braces

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.

Crosschecking

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

Step 13Step 13Base of panels are securedBase 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.

Step 14Step 14Panels are finishedPanels are finished

Panels are ground and patched to ensure a smooth

finish ready for paint.

BENIFITS OF TILT-UP FAST TRACK DELIVERY- Planning begins with an

evaluation of the site. COST CONTAINMENT- Engineering is a critical phase

of each and every Tilt-Up project. INNOVATION - Once planning is complete,

construction can begin on the floor and footings LOWER OPERATING COST - There are a number of

ways to form individual panels. ARCHTECTURAL AESTHETICS - Patterns or texture

can easily be added to the face of Tilt-Up panels.

SAFETY- Concrete placement methods for Tilt-Up panels are the same as those for floor slabs.
