I am curious to understand how is the outer concrete portion tied to the inner concrete side.

[@engabu3li]

If you notice; they start to install a mesh pieces as a key- shear parts for connecting each faces with each others.
Watch them on 1:08
Other thing this is a thin wall sandwich panel.
Its tilted and erected on the site on its edge.

What is the purpose of placing the pieces across the form before pouring? @0:37

[@matheusmamede8103]

I think these pieces hang the reinforcing mesh to guarantee they will keep at right position.

[@eat5hams]

also just for the guys pouring to stand on. watch the guy running the bucket, he stands on it. helps keep the rebar mesh off the bottom of the form

[@clemsmith2253]

was that last piece with no holes a floor? Why no windows or doors

[@Veldtian1]

it's a wall section.

What is the r-value of those walls?

[@rd-ch1on]

Looked like 2 inch foam. The blue is typically R5 per inch. So R 10 but with no thermal bridges and no air movement whatsoever. I used 4 inch foam for my house that I built in the same method , tilt up. You can't really compare typical wood frame stud and R 20 fiberglass. Those 2 inch foam sandwich panels in the video are far superior

@@rd-ch1oncan you describe the tilt up method please? Are the panels transported flat (as cast)? Im 🇬🇧 and looking into this method.
