Foundations for the interior
steel columns and the perimeter tilt-wall panels are installed
Floor slab is formed
up and poured
Tilt panels are
formed on the floor slab and poured outside face down against the slab
Braces are attached
once panels have cured
Panels are lifted
into place
The erection process
continues until all of the panels have been erected and braced to the floor
Process may take
several days depending on the size of the building.
Steel structure
is tied into the panels once a section of the tilt wall has been placed and plumbed
Panel bracing is
removed when the steel structure is adequately tied in and braced
Erection of
the interior portion of the steel structure is often begun prior to the completion
of the setting of the panels for larger buildings, reducing the time to close
in the building
Outside face
of the tilt-wall panels, which were cast face down, are cleaned and touched up
in preparation for painting and other finishing applications
Application
of finishing touches such as painting, trim, windows, doors, canopies, landscaping
and sidewalks are completed
