Tilt-up concrete construction is a proven method for building a wide variety of commercial and industrial structures with speed, safety and construction cost benefits. In traditional forms of wall construction, the walls can be built with CMU blocks or blocks faced with brick. For some types of buildings, the exterior wall is made up of structural steel columns with heavy gauge metal studs covered with gyp sheathing, which is then faced with brick or stucco. Regardless which traditional approach is used, building the exterior walls is a time-consuming, multi-stepped process. Tilt-up construction (also called tiltwall or tilt wall construction) employs a different approach. A tilt-up building's walls are created horizontally as large slabs of concrete called panels. The panels are then lifted, or tilted up, into position around the building's slab. This means the tilt-up structure's exterior wall is virtually finished when it is tilted into place. TILT-UP CONSTRUCTION IN TODAY'S CONSTRUCTION MARKET Tilt-up construction has a long history, but its widespread use is a relatively new phenomenon. In spite of this, tilt-up construction is fast becoming the method of choice for constructing modern warehouses, call centers, distribution centers, retail stores, office and storage buildings and other types of industrial and commercial facilities. Tiltwall construction has since been used in buildings as large as 1.7 million square feet, with individual panels reaching as high as 91 feet and weighing 150 tons. The Tilt-up Concrete Association reports that 15% of all industrial buildings in the U.S. were created using tilt-up construction. It is growing at an annual rate of almost 20% and is used in over 650 million square feet of new building construction each year. In Texas and other sunbelt states, tilt-up accounts for as much as 75% of new one-story commercial building construction. General contractors, design build contractors and builders in Mexico, Canada and Australia are also using tiltwall construction on an increasingly frequent basis.
