Troubleshooting High-End Finishes
June 12, 2018 from 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Royal Ballroom
Tilt-up construction is revered as one of the most broadly applied construction systems. Part of the attraction is the palette of high-end finishes that continues to grow in all regions. Design and construction professionals not only must recognize the wide range of finishes and techniques that are now available, accurate cost/waste estimating, informed detailing and the ability to understand the impact to schedule are imperative to solve the complex conditions they can create in the field.
Tim brings decades of high-end finish techniques and experience to this presentation. He will cover the design details, application and delivery options for such finishes as form liners, thin brick, exposed aggregate, staining, color admixtures, polishing and textured coatings.
The Rising of a Modern Tilt-Up building
June 12, 2018 from 1:00pm to 2:00pm
Royal Ballroom
This seminar will take engineers through the basics of designing foundations, slabs and wall panels for tilt-up concrete buildings.
A Practical and Reliable Means to Polished Concrete Walls
June 12, 2018 from 2:00pm to 2:30pm
Royal Ballroom
Polished concrete is a beautiful, durable, low maintenance finish. Until lately it has been limited to horizontal surfaces. Past attempts at vertical applications have often failed to match the consistency and quality clients are used to in floors. Today, the tilt-up construction method is proving to be an efficient and reliable means to high-quality polished concrete walls. This presentation will feature two St. Louis area projects, the expansion of the Saint Louis Art Museum and Pfizer Bioplace, employing the tilt-up building system to deliver stunning wall panels. Barclay Gebel, vice president of field operations for Concrete Strategies will discuss each projects’ approach including mix design, polishing process and equipment, lifting and bracing, finishing and more. He will also highlight the benefits of tilt-up that make this finish practical.
How 3D Technology is Evolving Tilt-Up Design
June 12, 2018 from 2:30pm to 3:30pm
Royal Ballroom
Join the discussion as we navigate the use of Revit and Building Information Modeling and their effect on tilt-up design. We’ll discuss how these design tools enhance the ability to save clients time and money, and provide added flexibility.
Lift Day - Time, Money and Life Saving Tips and Tricks
June 12, 2018 from 3:30pm to 5:00pm
Royal Ballroom
We all know that the big day on a tilt-up job is the day that panel lifting commences. It is also one of the most critical events in time where all safety practices and procedures are adhered to in order to assure everyone's well being, and to provide the customer with the confidence in you, as well as the system of tilt-up construction. This program will discuss some of the impactful practices that will help for a safe and successful erection process, some of which may appear minor in nature, but can have significant impact on the outcome. Some of the topics we will discuss in detail include: Hazard identification, whether underground or overhead, Experience of crew and individual crew member assignments, Critical Lift Plan review, Limited Access Zones, Rigging identification and inspection, Sequencing and unusual circumstances, and several tips and tricks that are sure to save time, money and lives. With careful planning and consistent safety practices, we can all provide our internal and external customers with positive and rewarding experiences that will continue to enhance our industry and have them coming back for more!
Attendees will get a behind the scenes look at the construction of the monumental polished tilt-up panels making up the Saint Louis Art Museum's new building.
The Saint Louis Art Museum, Located in Forest Park in Saint Louis, Missouri, is situated atop Art Hill overlooking the Grand Basin, the central gathering place for the 1904 World's Fair. Designed by renowned American architect Cass Gilbert, the Saint Louis Art Museum's original structure was the only building from the World’s Fair designed to be permanent. The 200,000 square foot addition, designed by London architect David Chipperfield, consists of large, clean expanses of glass and monumental planes of highly polished black concrete. The stark contrast created by the simplicity and darkness of the expansion keeps clean the reading of the original building and establishes a somewhat submissive attitude while sustaining its own sense of monumentality.
