The Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) is proud to announce the formation of the Mexican Advisory Board, a key initiative designed to support the growth and development of tilt-up construction in Mexico. This marks a significant step in the TCA’s strategic vision to engage more deeply with pivotal international markets, fostering local expertise while advancing global standards.

A Commitment to Regional Excellence

The tilt-up construction industry is shaped by its ability to adapt to varying regional demands. As the TCA has observed in the United States, tilt-up markets vary widely in terms of priorities, techniques, and challenges from one region to the next. Mexico is no exception, with its own distinct economic, environmental, and logistical conditions influencing construction practices.

The Mexican Advisory Board will play a critical role in addressing these unique conditions, bringing together a diverse group of industry leaders to spotlight innovative practices, share region-specific knowledge, and foster collaboration within the local construction community. This initiative not only aims to elevate the tilt-up industry in Mexico but also to contribute lessons learned to the broader global tilt-up community.
