• 1996

In 1996, nine winners of TCA tilt-up achievement awards were selected from 36 submittals - a record at the time - by a panel representing architects, engineers, contractors and suppliers. 

The winners demonstrate versatility in the application of tilt-up construction.  The most unique projects were a pair of cooling towers in Hutchinson, Kansas.  Two Missouri projects demonstrated the high-tech and refined look that is possible with tilt-up construction.  An electric utility substation constructed in Budapest, Hungary, with insulated sandwich panels was also a winner.

TCA was founded in 1986 to improve the quality and acceptance of site cast Tilt-Up construction, a construction method in which concrete wall panels are cast on-site and tilted into place.  Tilt-Up construction is one of the fastest growing industries, combining the advantages of reasonable cost with low maintenance, durability, speed of construction and minimal capital investment.  For more information about the TCA, visit www.tilt-up.org, call Ed Sauter or Jim Baty at 319-895-6911, or e-mail TCA at info@tilt-up.org.
