SiteCast’s experience extends across many materials and processes but in recent years, we have become a Canadian pioneer in tilt-up construction techniques. Why tilt-up? Because it fits into our model of continually trying to find innovative solutions to increase the speed and enhance the quality of our product and services.

Tilt-up is a construction technique whereby reinforced concrete panels are cast on-site (or off) then tilted into position. These panels become the load-bearing structural components and eliminate the need for perimeter columns.

Tilt-Up Construction Advantages

Cost & Value: Tilt-up has repeatedly proven to be more economical than competing construction methods for similar types of buildings. Read more…

Speed: Once the floor slab is placed, the elapsed time from forming the panels to completion of the building shell is typically 4-5 weeks. Read more…

Energy Efficiency: Tilt-up concrete panels offer an R-value of up to R41.5, far exceeding that of wood or steel buildings. Air-tightness, minimal joints, thermal mass and quality control are all factors that result in an average energy savings of 20-60%. Read more…

Safety, Security and Durability: Tilt-up concrete structures have unmatched durability and fire-resistance. Tilt-up structures constructed 60 years ago show few signs of aging today. Read more…

Versatility: Tilt-up buildings can be used for any size of application, from a portable classroom to a one million square foot production facility. A variety of finishes provide excellent aesthetic options. Read more…

Expandability: Tilt-up concrete panels can be designed for relocation, allowing for the expansion or relocation of a facility. Read more…
