Vertical Panel Casting and Vacuum-Assisted Installation [LIVE DEMO]
October 23, 2026 from 10:00am to 10:30am Mountain Standard Time
Traditional tilt-up construction has long relied on horizontal casting beds and conventional lifting methods. This demonstration introduces an alternative approach that combines vertical casting with vacuum-assisted panel handling to simplify production and installation. Attendees will see how the system is designed to increase casting efficiency, reduce site demands, and support rapid panel production while exploring how innovative construction methods may expand future opportunities for tilt-up projects.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Explore how vertical casting differs from conventional horizontal casting methods.
- See how vacuum-assisted handling is used to lift and position concrete wall panels.
- Learn how integrated casting and installation systems can improve production efficiency and jobsite workflow.
- Better understand where alternative panel production methods may provide advantages on future projects.

About the Tilt-Up Concrete Association
Founded in 1986, the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) strives to improve the quality and acceptance of site-cast Tilt-Up construction - one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, combining the advantages of reasonable cost with low maintenance, durability, speed of construction and minimal capital investment. Over 10,000 buildings, enclosing more than 650 million square feet, are constructed each year using this construction method.
