Tilt Slab Site visit

Here are some photos i took of some new commercial spaces being erected in Laverton.

Its always important to get the panels to the site safe and sound. As seen here the panels arrive on site ready to stand up reducing costs of building up site and time usually associated


Only 3 men required to fit the pieces of the puzzles, 1 crane driver and 2 guides.
Immediately after placement the panels are held stable with 'push pulls'.
Essentially these angled steel rods create positive and negatives forces, pushing and pulling in order to keep the panels still while they set



Holes for the windows are pre-defined for easy insertion once the panel is set



Location pins set into footing allow accurate placement of panels

Plastic packers to help make any leveling adjustments to panels during placement
