Tilt-Up Concrete Association Sponsors Several Events at World of Concrete
As a co-sponsor for the World of Concrete, TCA provides important education and participation events including:
- “Creative Forming and Finishing of Tilt-Up Walls” (World of Concrete Seminar Code MO-21) – Jan. 21 from 8–11 a.m. Given by Shawn Hickey of SiteCast, Inc. from Ottawa, Ontario and Ed Sauter, executive director of the TCA, this presentation will focus on ways to take Tilt-Up projects to the next level and cover topics such as form and shape, openings, placement of panels, detailing, applied ornament, cast-in elements and surface finishes.
- “Tilt-Up: It’s a System” (World of Concrete Seminar Code MO-04) – Jan. 21 from 1-4 p.m. Laurence Smith, P.E. of J.W. Lindsay Enterprises Ltd. From Dartmouth, Nova Scotia explains how the popularity and continued growth of Tilt-Up dictates a more in-depth explanation of the system to contractors. This presentation will discuss that Tilt-Up is not simply a wall substitute but an entire construction system. To capitalize on the cost and time-saving benefits of Tilt-Up, a facility should be designed as Tilt-Up and not simply be an alternate bid.
