R-Value Concrete Walls 10 5” Metal Insulated Panels 40 Determination = Concentrate mainly on:

  • Cost
  • Schedule
  • Constructability

Tilt-Up Feasibility

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

Wall Comparison Chart

TILT-UP PRECAST COST

$376,200 $438,900

MATERIAL

Affordable in TN Early delivery charge

ERECTION

Fewer panels More panels, More time

LEAD TIME

Cast on-site, possible weather impacts 5-8 Weeks

TRANSPORTATION

Cast on site, no cost Delivery from plant to site

CONSTRUCTABILITY

Extra planning Very Similar

QUALITY

Potential Repairs Better, due mainly to the controlled environment

FDA / Special Considerations

  • Finishes :

~Floors ~Walls ~Pipes ~Trench Drains

High Traffic Areas Doors Cold Climate

Conclusions

  • Utilize Long Distance Procurement Tools
  • Tilt-up Walls vs. Precast Walls

~Close Call ~Tilt-up is a good alternative ~Precast has better quality & Less Repairs Associated ~I would Pick Precast

  • Importance of FDA / Special Considerations
