Discover how tilt-up construction is expanding its reach into mid-rise building applications in this detailed session. Through case studies, including ExxonMobil Canada’s Corporate Headquarters and a six-story stacked panel building, attendees will explore the innovative use of tilt-up concrete in vertical construction. This session will cover the benefits of tilt-up for owners and developers, such as reduced construction costs, shorter project timelines, and sustainability advantages, all while achieving high-end design. Whether in commercial, corporate, or other sectors, this session reveals how tilt-up is transforming the landscape of mid-rise construction.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Understand the benefits of applying tilt-up construction techniques to mid-rise buildings, including cost reduction, shorter schedules, and design flexibility.
• Analyze case studies showcasing vertical tilt-up applications, focusing on design, engineering, and practical execution in mid-rise projects.
• Evaluate the impact of tilt-up construction on sustainability objectives, such as resource efficiency and waste reduction, within mid-rise projects.
• Explore the role of tilt-up in supporting high-end architectural designs in non-traditional applications, particularly in commercial and corporate building types.
