Africa Phase 4
The animal holding buildings were originally constructed of masonry, leading to many issues. The walls sweat and began deteriorating due to animal urination and exposure to the elements. Tilt-up sandwich panels were purposed as a solution to the structural issues. The panels alleviated the sweating and were much easier to clean.
The exterior wythe was covered with colored concrete to better blend into the background, and foliage was used to further disguise the tilt-up structures.

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.
