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.

The Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) – a non-profit international organization that serves to expand and improve the use of Tilt-Up as the preferred construction method – has announced the recipients of the 2007 Tilt-Up Achievement Awards.

Projects were reviewed by a panel of judges that represent the membership categories within TCA.

According to Jim Baty, Technical Director of the TCA, the judges routinely commented on the continued growth of creativity in applying the principles of forming and lifting site cast Tilt-Up elements with limited or no constraint on the size, shape, or complexity of the geometry.

Projects were encouraged from any market segment and were specifically aligned into categories and sub-categories including Manufacturing/Industrial, Warehouse/Distribution (Corporate Headquarters/Center, Small Business/Distribution, Speculative), Retail (Life-style centers - Walking Malls, Single Occupant and “Big Box”), Office (One-Two Story, Three Stories and Higher, and Technology Centers), Spiritual Buildings, Educational (K-12 and Higher Education), Institutional (Detention/Correction, Low-Rise, Parking Garage, Service Facilities such as Hospitals and Care Centers), Commercial (Hotels, Golf Clubs, Recreation, Theaters, etc.), Housing, Special Projects and Innovative Application Techniques.

To qualify for consideration, projects must be submitted by a member of the team that maintains a current TCA membership. However, the program recognizes all team participants that are TCA members.
