Unlike precast concrete panels that are manufactured at a plant and trucked to the building site, tilt-up panels are made on site from reinforced concrete, custom fabricated horizontally atop the building floor, then lifted by crane into a vertical position above their footings and connected to the buildings steel structure.
Tilt-up enables us to control more variables on the construction site, which, in turn, allows us to pass along the benefits to our clients. These benefits include speed of construction, considerable savings and often a strategic advantage.
