Daikin Texas Technology Park
Tilt-up construction brought speed and economy to this project. Wide panels eliminated the need for a support beam and reduced the number of drilled piers. The panels will make large openings possible when the facility expands, both through panel-to-panel connections and increased reinforcement steel in select panel legs.
Tilt-up panels allowed for large window widths in the office, welcoming in natural light. Tilt-up also helped support the large framing spans of the office and lab.

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.
