Concrete Tilt-Up Drawings
Concrete Tilt-Up Drawings
(OP)
We are fairly new at designing tilt-up panels and how our drawings were set up were based on requirements from the contractor that we were teamed with. The contractor wanted to see every panel that was remotely different from the rest and wanted reinforcing, embed plates, reveals, panel dimensions and openings shown, dimensioned and called out per panel. This loaded our structural drawings with information from other disciplines that we normally wouldn't be concerned with, thus increasing our liability.
We have talked with rebar suppliers and a lifting contractor to get some comparison to what is the "industry standard". We were told we are providing the "cadillac" of tilt-up drawings. As we are now working with other contractors and including tilt-up in bid projects, we are looking to reduce our liability.
Is there a standard for tilt-up drawings or what have you shown or seen on projects?

RE: Concrete Tilt-Up Drawings
Needless to say, lifting points must be accurately spaced about the centre of gravity so panels don't rotate in their own plane. If they do, installation becomes a hellish exercise.
Stay with your "Cadillac" version and you won't have a problem with your insurance.

Also, I have found "Dayton Superior" to be a great help for tilt-up construction. In fact, they will even assist you in locating panel lift points and other extremely helpful suggestions. They also have many design catalogues that thay will be only too glad to over-night mail to you (800-745-3700).
Good luck.
