Chemical Sequencing and Best Practices for Tilt-up Construction
Duration: 45 minutes
Speaker: Derick Rainey
Are you an contractor, architect, or engineer involved in tilt-up construction? This session will discuss the function, application, and proper sequence of chemical products used in tilt-up construction. Understanding these chemicals is crucial to ensure high-quality panels, efficient methods, and reduced costs. We will delve into not only how these products function individually, but also how they interact with each other and the concrete itself. We will examine common products like bondbreakers, densifiers, curing compounds, and release agents, and how they fit into the overall tilt-up process.

About the Tilt-Up Concrete Association
Founded in 1986, the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) strives to improve the quality and acceptance of site-cast Tilt-Up construction - one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, combining the advantages of reasonable cost with low maintenance, durability, speed of construction and minimal capital investment. Over 10,000 buildings, enclosing more than 650 million square feet, are constructed each year using this construction method.
