• French gardener, Joseph Monier put iron mesh to reinforce garden pots and
tubs in 1849.
• The father of tilt-up concrete, Robert Aiken poured the walls flat on a sand
bed with door and window openings and then tipped them up onto the
ffoouunnddaattiioonn iinn 11990066.
• Robert Aiken later refined his method, using a steel tipping table to build 15
buildings, which included a two-story ammunition house.
• Thomas Edison built an entire village of tilt-up concrete houses in
Union, New Jersey in 1908.
• After the development of the mobile crane, the tilt-up wall started gaining
popularity.
Tilt-Up Construction
• Tilt-Up concrete construction began in California in the late 1950s
and later spread out to construction industrial throughout United
States.
• This construction method is cost-saving, fast, and safe; the tilt-up
building is durable and has decent fire and seismic resistance.
• The tilt-up wall panels act as load-bearing walls and can also serve as
curtain walls for the exterior face of buildingg.
• The wall panels can be customized for different colors, textures,

They can also be designed as sandwich thermal panels.

• Tilt-up is particularly well-suited to warehouses, schools,
offices, churches, shopping centers and manufacturing
plants, or any other concrete buildings up to five floors in
