Feasibility Questionnaire for Tilt-up Wall Panels Yes No Are the exterior panel surfaces basically flat? X Is the site relatively flat or is there sufficient floor area available as a casting surface? X Will the majority of the panels be under 30ft. in height? X Will these walls represent over 50% of the total building wall surface? X Are these tilt-up wall panels going to rest on the foundation? X Will the weight of the panels fall within the crane capacity limits? X Will the panels be designed with a basically repeatable pattern? X Is this a common construction method in the local area and are there any construction companies with concrete tilt-wall experience? X
