Tilt-Up Construction

This video provides a side view of the process for standing a tilt-up panel into position on a commercial construction project. This step in the process is how tilt-up construction gets its name. Tilt-up construction is a leading approach for concrete construction.

Why take the strong back off while the panel is still in the air? Seemed like a waste of precious crane time.

what brand/model of ground release shackles are used for lifting? Also how does the connection between the tilt-up panels aand the foundation work so that it can be secured so quickly?

The brand is most likely Dayton. The panels are held up by pipe braces that are bolted to the slab and the panel. They are threaded and adjustable to bring the panel into plumb. The braces stay in place until the columns and roof trusses are all welded together. As well, there are generally weld plates cast into the slab on all four sides so that they can be welded to corresponding plates on the footing and the adjacent panel. The plates into the top of the panel have the ends of the trusses welded to them. When all of that is secure, the braces come down.
