Tilt-Up: the solution for small Buildingss

Most people don't see tilt-up as a solution when designing a build less than 30,000 S.F.

In the last three years, we have proved them wrong, making tilt-up a successful solution to save time and money on six buildings less than 10,000 S.F.

Tap into your creativity - Tap into Tilt-UP

“False” formwork was required to create thicker tilt-up sections at panel legs to give the building walls depth at column-to-spandrel offsets.

To provide additional building wall thickness at the column locations, Tilt-up panels were overlapped at panel legs.

Creative Planning for Restricted Space

Since the design required more area of tilt-up panels (11,000 sf) than available area of floor space (casting area = 8,000 sf), creative planning and sequencing of the tilt-up was necessary.

Summit concrete developed a coordinated casting plan that provided for two sequences of forming, pouring and erecting tilt-up panels.

After slab-on-grade was complete, the first sequence of forming, pouring and erecting panels was completed in 3 weeks. The second sequence of forming, pouring and erecting panels was completed in 2-1/2 weeks.

Attractive Building Design Using Tilt-Up Materials

Random stone, cast stone, EIFS accents and sheet metal awnings were installed after the tilt-up was erected.

The utilization of creative tilt-up design and complimentary building materials resulted in a beautiful building that provides individual identity to each of the multiple tenants.
