The Advantages of Going "Full-Tilt"

 

S.D. Ellenbecker, Inc. is the first contractor to introduce the Tilt-up Concrete Construction method to the central Wisconsin area.  The Tilt-up process has been popular in other regions of the country for years.  In some states, such as California, it is the preferred method of construction for half of all concrete structures.

 

The process itself is simple and similar to the construction of wood frame homes and commercial buildings:
• Cement is poured and finished horizontally on an existing floor slab.
• Cranes are used to erect the wall panels.
• The concrete panels are sealed in place.

 

 

 

 

Cost effective...
Tilt-up concrete walls are less expensive than pre-cast concrete panels constructed in a factory.  The cost is comparable to split-face insulated cement block walls.  The Tilt-up method also cuts costs on labor and equipment, as scaffolding and other materials aren't used in the process.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Quicker completion time...
Pre-cast concrete walls are quicker to construct than cement block walls.  Tilt-up walls are much faster to construct than pre-cast, which must be made in factories and transported to the job site.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Unlimited design capabilities...
Tilt-up walls can be created to any design specifications.  Because the walls are constructed at the construction site, last-minute changes can be made on the spot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Better quality construction...
Tilt-up is a much stronger method of construction than steel structure, 12" masonry block or pre-cast panels.  More durable, Tilt-up walls won't crack like concrete block.  Being composed of cement, all structures are fireproof.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A product we stand by...
Ellenbecker stakes its name on the quality of the process, as the company headquarters was constructed using the Tilt-up method.
