Seven Farms Square

2007 Tilt-Up Achievement Award Winner :: Residential Division TCA Excellence Award Winner

Submitted by: Charter Concrete Services, Inc.

Located in an area with seismic and storm requirements, this project needed to handle the elements. Tilt-Up was selected for this project for its ability to address those concerns as well as meet cost and schedule requirements.

Located on a very tight site, there was limited space for casting panels. This made panel layout and bracing extremely challenging. The project had several large panels that weighed approximately 95,000 pounds, which created heavy lifts.

The visually appealing three-story and partial four-story building for residential, office and retail use has brick exterior and major rustications. To create the multistory structure, smaller panels were set on top of the third floor slab on deck.

This project introduced Tilt-Up to the area and proved its viability for a four-story multi-use project.
