Tilt-Up Construction: How The Korte Company Makes it Happen.

Tilt-Up concrete construction trims costs and accelerates project timelines while resulting in sturdy structures that last. It works like this: Building designs include specs for steel-reinforced forms matching the dimensions of a building’s walls. The forms are laid horizontally on the building foundation. Concrete is then poured into those forms. After a few days of curing, the forms are removed and the reinforced concrete panels are tilted up into place, forming the building’s walls.
Owners choose Tilt-Up because it relies on readily available ready-mix concrete and rebar. Also, construction is faster and requires fewer workers. Finally, the method can be executed in phases, allowing interior construction crews to get a head start on one end of a building while the other end is still in progress.
In the video, Project Superintendent Gary Horstmann explains the method with footage of a recent healthcare facility expansion.

Great video! Super helpful

Great videography!

does this only work for a 2 story structure? do the temporary supports get in the way during the 2nd-floor construction?

[@rubenvarela4077]

We done 5 storys to 4 storys one piece

[@rubenvarela4077]

They dont ironworkers work around them

@@rubenvarela4077 thanks! Always looking for alternate designs that make sense

[@mariosiles2455]

how do you avoid the wall panels get stuck into de slab after de curing process?

[@hipsonsogbo]

they lightly butter the slab first so it dont stick similar to if you baking cookies
