I see some constructions in my area where I live for commercial buildings. I was wondering how the heck the walls just sprung up over night. I did not know that those were molded and poured on site and just lifted up after the concrete hardened. I did not know that there are such thing as wax coating to prevent the freshly poured concrete stick to the slab. Thanks to your video, now I know how the walls sprung up like mushroom overnight... 😀 👍👍
That's an awesome Job! did you use a laser screed to pour all the panels that you showed towards the very end of your video? what brand of adhesive do you use for the form kickers and reveals? Thanks! I think you guys did a great job!
When we set them they are set on shims, then grout is poured all around the bottom. On this particular project, the panels fix to each other overlapping and grouted
@@rockyfrance Thanks. I see these tilt up warehouses and other buildings going up around me. I see the welding going on at the roof trusses but never really see anything going on at the ground level. I thought there may be a key way at the floor slab that the panels slip into when they are hoisted into place. Thanks again.
@stevengiles346 we actually poured out footers and left the floor 2 ft back from the footers so the walls set directly on the footers with shims. After the building is built , we came back and poured the 2 ft strip all the around the building, which helps lock it in.
Walls lock in when trusses are set and welds are made at embeds on panel joints. Then closure strip is poured to lock walls in on bottom. Closure strip usually is around 6-12ft depends on how building is tilted with crane. and closure strip ties into your existing slab of building @@stevengiles346
@user-mv4nt9xk4i that was all done prior to slab being pored. All the conduit were plugged and flush at floor height so we could pour tilt panels over them.
@@rockyfrance Thank you so much for responding! your videos are truly helpful. does the surveyor mark the locations for the electrical and plumbing? i know the that prior to the foundation being framed the surveyor marks the corners of where foundation will be. Am thinking once that is done electrical and plumbing go base on the framing for concrete, correct?
@user-mv4nt9xk4i exactly! In this case, the Surveyor left us all the building corners as well as all the column placements throughout, so the utilities had plenty to reference from to pull measurements for their projects.
@@rockyfrance dude god bless you! Thank you for responding. I have been involved in lots of interior general contracting and am now making my way into the exterior ground up side. There is a lot of tilt wall ground up work and I was looking for pointers since I am fairly new to the tiltwall work. Again thank you
Great video, thank you for sharing!
So crazy. I have cut these walls and there a force to be wreckin with. That rebar job is so beautiful to
Good video
@@dekonfrost7 thank you

This comment is the exact reason I do videos. Thanks my friend
That was such an interesting explanation.
@@AndrewSheldon thanks brother
All these new hire site engineers and site foreman looking to pick up that info they lied about and got hired not knowing. Nice vid brother.
I've been waiting for a video like this, nice job. Can you explain the structural drawings, rebar/embed layout?

Do you guys do residential?
@@angelvandrake8269 yes we sure do
How are the wall panels fixed to the slab (floor) and to adjoining panels once they are tilted up in place?

Whats the name of the lifting locks?? (green bags) Great video !!
We call them lifts pionts
Why about all the electrical and plumbing? Did it go in already or does that happen later?

@user-mv4nt9xk4i Mt pleasure brother.
What is the thickness of those walls?
I think they were 7-1/4" if I remember correctly
I am the king of tilts
