info tags on concrete tilt-up buildings

[nuche1973]

Do pre-cast building (concrete) manufactures have id tags on their structures like the metal building guys? If so, where do I look for it when conducting a site visit?

Tilt-up is different from precast. Precast is fabricated in a plant and shipped to the job site. Tilt-up is poured on site (usually on the slab), and then a crane will lift it up into final position.

Tilt-up won't have markings, but precast will (in order to tell the erector where it goes within the building). The marking will correspond to a "shop ticket" and that shop ticket should provide all the information needed to fabricate the piece.

Thanks for the info.

Some will have contractor specific details though, and proprietary items in the panels.
