The final pieces are coming together for the TCA Fall Convention<\/a>, which will be held from September 30th through October 2nd in metropolitan Houston, Texas.\u00a0 The energy, support, and ideas of the host committee promise to make this the best ever TCA Convention.\u00a0 Houston is a booming market for Tilt-Up and the excitement that exists in this market is evident in the program, topics and events planned for this year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n The venue will be the Sugar Land Marriott Hotel in Sugar Land, Texas.\u00a0 Sugar Land is a city within the Houston metropolitan area and is on the Top 10 list for nearly every accolade given to cities including livability, fitness (we will downgrade that a bit), economic activity, safety, growth, liberalism (I made that one up) and so on.\u00a0 Sugar Land is one of the most affluent and fastest growing cities in Texas, having grown 158% in the past decade (in a down economy).\u00a0 Tilt-Up has played a significant role in that explosive growth.\u00a0 It was a sugar plantation until the late 1950s.\u00a0\u00a0 Sugar Land also home of the Skeeters (look it up on your smart phone).<\/p>\n An outdoor exhibitor demonstration and dedication of a memorial designed and constructed by local Tilt-Up professions for this event will be part of the program.\u00a0 The success of the Korean War Memorial in Kansas City served as a model.\u00a0 Another return to the schedule will be a buildings tour.\u00a0 This has always been a popular event when the traffic and proximity of Tilt-Up structures was conducive. Sugar Land is a hotbed of Tilt-Up activity and there will be a variety of Tilt-Up buildings to tour.\u00a0 Visits to at least one project under construction will be included.<\/p>\n There will be an awards gala this year for the Buildings of the Year announcements with Preston Haskell, Founder and Chairman of The Haskell Company, keynoting the event.\u00a0 Parallel to the convention will be an architect\u2019s luncheon with another noted keynote address.\u00a0 We hope to take the message of Tilt-Up to the Houston architectural community and provide them with relevant information related to the cutting edge of Tilt-Up. Then there\u2019s the program.\u00a0 The event will feature an engineering track for designers and engineers which focuses on the newly introduced TCA \u201cEngineering Tilt-Up\u201d manual.\u00a0 A new Tilt-Up erection and rigger training program will be introduced as part of Field Supervisor construction track.\u00a0 The construction track will fulfill continuing education requirements for ACI superintendent recertification.\u00a0 And that\u2019s just the beginning.\u00a0 Additional presentations will include topics from case studies of challenging and groundbreaking projects to Obamacare: What it Means to Me.\u00a0 There is something for everyone in this year\u2019s program.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t made plans to attend, do so now.\u00a0 This will be a CAN\u2019T-MISS event.\u00a0 For current information regarding the program, hotel reservations and event registration, visit the TCA web site at www.tilt-up.org.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
