Simplifying Tilt-Up Construction: The Facts About Welded Wire Reinforcement
September 28, 2019 from 2:30pm to 3:30pm Central Standard Time
Marquis Ballroom D
This presentation will explore the value of using welded wire reinforcement in tilt-up construction. Participants will learn the differences and similarities between conventional rebar and welded wire reinforcement. They will learn how welded wire reinforcement solves the time, quality and cost paradigm and discuss how to effectively stage and manage the material flow on the project.

ICONX LLC produces and distributes the IconX Shear Connector line. With a new 5"- 6" connector being introduced to the family this year, we are now able to support you on projects with insulation thickness from 2" all the way up to 6" and everything in between, making IconX the smart choice for your high performance insulated wall panels. The foundational goal of the IconX System was to develop a shear connector to make insulated wall panels longer, stronger, and stiffer than previously available. It was also important for the connector to work with any rigid insulation in panels reinforced with mesh or rebar. Due to the composite action that the IconX Shear Connector facilitates between the wythes of concrete, the total concrete thickness can be reduced by 3 to 4 inches over conventional non-composite panel design, saving you material costs and potentially reducing your crane size and footing and foundation sizes. Simply put, we can do more for less. We are committed to helping you have a successful project with us. Contact us by phone or email, or come meet us at the TCA show to discuss what we have to offer.

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.
