1
FORMWORKForms are laid out upon the slab to outline the walls and features, such as windows, of the panels.
ALIGNMENT &MEASUREMENT
Once the casting surface, also known as floor slab or pad, has cured, tilt-up panels can be created. Panels are measured and outlined in preparation for the formwork.
CUTTING
Dimensional lumber is often used to outline the edges and features of panels. Forms for the panels are laid out on the slab along the chalk lines.
FASTENING
Holes are drilled into the formwork, then nails or glue are used to keep the formwork in place.
INSTALLINGEMBEDDED ITEMS
Caulking is used to secure rustication, inserts, or embeds, such as structural supports and lifting hardware, to the panels.
CLEAN-UP
Prepare the surface by removing debris.
2
REINFORCEMENTTilt-up panels are constructed with steel components for structural integrity.
REBAR CUTTING
Rebar is used to strengthen the walls and cut to size.
REBAR TYING
The rebar is laid down inside the form in a grid and secured together with wire.
3
CONCRETE PLACEMENT & TREATMENTConcrete is poured into the forms to the desired thickness.
CONCRETECONSOLIDATION
Concrete vibrators are used to level concrete and remove entrapped air. This process helps ensure consolidation under and around embedded items.
WATER AND DUSTREMOVAL
Remove any excess water or debris from panel surfaces and edges.
4
ERECTING & BRACING [TILT-UP]Panels are raised by a crane, moved into position, set on the foundation, and adjusted into final placement with shims. Once a panel is in place, temporary braces are set to support the panel until the roof is attached.
DRILLING FORANCHOR
Rotary hammer is used to drill a hole for the anchor that will secure the brace.
ANCHORFASTENING
Impact Wrench is used to fasten the panel brace to the floor.
5
FINISHING & CLEAN-UPVarious trades visit the job site to complete the interior and exterior of the structure.
CONTROL &EXPANSIONJOINT CUTTING
Expansion joints are made to allow for the dynamic movement of the concrete that occurs due to ambient temperature variances and/or movement of the soil from seismic activity.
SLURRYCLEAN-UP
Vacuums and dust extractors can be used to remove slurry created during polishing, cutting, or grinding.
REMOVINGIMPERFECTIONSAND OVERPOURS
During the pouring process, concrete may cure in an imperfect manner if a form dislodges. Those imperfections are then removed first with demolition or rotary hammers.
CAULKING JOINTS& FILLING CRACKS
Joints and cracks should be filled before casting the panels.
CONCRETESURFACING
After removing imperfections, the panel is smoothed with angle grinders or concrete planers.
CLEAN-UP
Prepare the surface by removing debris.
