THE CONSTRUCTION OF TILT-UP
The Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) conducted a survey in 2007 revealing approximately 790 million sq. ft. of Tilt-Up buildings were constructed that year—equating to an estimated 11,000 to 12,000 buildings. These projects ranged in size from 4,000 sq. ft. to several exceeding 1 million sq. ft. And the numbers keep growing as more architects, engineers, contractors, and developers become aware of the many advantages of the Tilt-Up method for constructing walls for low-rise industrial and commercial buildings.
What began more than 65 years ago as a novel way to build concrete walls for warehouses and manufacturing plants grew to a multi-billion dollar market, with an estimated 15% of all low-rise commercial and industrial buildings constructed with Tilt-Up. In some areas, the figure approaches 100% as the use of Tilt-Up for two- to five-story commercial buildings is claiming an increasing share of the construction market. Imaginative design professionals are now applying the Tilt-Up method to office buildings, shopping centers, distribution centers, schools, prisons, auto dealerships, banks, hotels/motels and other building types
