 Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2008 9:12 am Post subject: Tilt Up Concrete Construction |
    |
|
I was wondering what kind of opinions were out there about tilt-up concrete construction. It sounds like a great method for certain projects, and it certainly seems efficient and economical. What do all of you other architect guys and gals think? What are its limits? Is a design/build contractor helpful to have for such a project?
Thanks! |

| Our firm did a Boys & Girls Club center in tilt slab. It was originally slated to be CMU; however, the decision to tilt slab was made for budgetary reasons (there were design changes made to adapt it). It was a lot of fun for the office to go out to the job site and watch the lifting. |
