Tilt-Up Engineering

Tilt-up engineering services are a critical piece of the construction industry puzzle.
Tilting panels into place on top of a solid foundation is an efficient way to create large, flat walls for buildings of all sizes. But it's not as easy as it seems! There are many factors to consider when designing and constructing the hardware and accessories that make a tilt-up building possible.


What Are Tilt-Up Engineering Services?

Tilt-up engineering services are those services that provide support to the construction industry in the design, analysis, and construction of tilt-up buildings. Tilt-up engineering is a specialized field that requires a deep understanding of building code requirements, as well as an understanding of how to properly brace and anchor lifting points.


Tilt-up engineering firms typically include the following general services:

  • Design of lifting points and bracing
  • Analysis of loads and wind forces
  • Calculation of Uplift capacity
  • Selection of appropriate anchors
Tilt-Up engineering is essential for the successful construction of tilt-up buildings. Without the proper support, these structures can be very dangerous. That's why it's important to choose a company with experience in this field.


Tilt-Up engineering is a specialized field that requires a deep understanding of both structural engineering and construction methods. Tilt-Up engineers must be able to think creatively to solve problems and develop innovative solutions. They must also be able to communicate effectively with both technical and non-technical staff.
