iFly Indoor Skydiving
IFLY Dulles is an indoor skydiving facility consisting of a tilt-up wall panel foundation system, tilt-up wall panel exterior cores and a structural steel interior. The tilt-up panels vary in size and shape and were cast on multiple cast beds around the project. Coordinating the casting panels within the site's limited confines proved challenging. The lower foundation walls consisted of tilt-up panels placed between site-cast columns with site-cast beams on top of the walls.
