Learn the "what" and "why" of Tilt-Up construction

Join St. George Rotary Club in welcoming Terance White, Principal and Director of NWL Architects' St. George office, (and a longtime member of SGR) for an insightful presentation on the innovative use of tilt-up construction for K-12 schools. With over 30 years of architectural experience, Terance is a leading expert in Tilt-Up design and has overseen the successful completion of numerous facilities in our community.

Tilt-up construction is a method where concert wall panels are cast horizontally on a building's floor slabe, then tilted up into a vertical positio using a crane to form the building's walls. This process creates large concrete structures quickly and efficiently, often used for buildings like warehouses, schools, and commercial facilities. 

This presentation will explain the "what" and "why" of Tilt-Up construction, exploring how this method delivers safe, durable, and cost-effective school buildings on an accelerated timeline. Terance will showcase several of NWL Architects’ completed school projects in Southern Utah, providing a firsthand look at Tilt-Up in action and its positive impact on our local educational landscape.
