Tilt wall construction has become the dominant building system for industrial facilities throughout the DFW metroplex, and for good reason. The method offers compelling advantages in cost, speed, and performance that align with developer requirements for speculative and build-to-suit projects. Our tilt wall capabilities deliver these advantages through experienced crews and proven construction processes.
The efficiency of tilt wall construction comes from casting building wall panels directly on the floor slab, then tilting them into position using cranes. This approach eliminates the formwork and scaffolding costs associated with cast-in-place construction while avoiding the transportation logistics of precast panels manufactured off-site. Our crews cast panels sized and configured for each specific project, accommodating architectural features, loading dock positions, and glazing requirements.
Panel design and lifting sequence require careful engineering to ensure safe, efficient erection. We coordinate with structural engineers on panel configurations, embed locations, and connection details. Our lifting plans account for crane positioning, panel weights, and site constraints. Experienced crews execute lifts safely while maintaining construction schedule progress.
Beyond wall panel construction, tilt wall buildings require coordinated structural steel, roofing, and building envelope systems to create complete facilities. We manage these scope interfaces to ensure proper integration between building systems. Clear height requirements, roof loading, and HVAC support all factor into structural steel design and sequencing.
