Lycon's Aggregate Storage Building and Batch Plant
The tilt-up construction method was faster and more cost effective compared to precast panel for Lycon's Aggregate Storage Building and Batch Plant projects. An innovative erection approach called for 19 of the 29 panels to be tilted and rolled with a second crane line to edge lifters so the panels could hang plumb for attachment to the steel structure. Performing work at an elevated level presented a challenge, as the bottoms of the panels at the storage facility were 37 feet above the building structure's base.

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.
