Tilt-Up Construction Process
Most tilt-up constructions will follow a schedule similar to this:
- Preparation of the site and pounding slab
- Assembly of the panel forms on the slab -- the panel forms provide the panels’ exact size and shape based on the design specifications
- Steel grid installation
- Concrete gets poured into the forms to create the panels
- "Tilt-up” process – Solidified concrete panels get tilt up from the slab into a vertical position with the help of a crane
- Application of finishes (sandblasting or painting)
- Roof Installation
