Tilt-up Construction Photography   Second Step - Pouring the Tilt-up Panels   Workers pour the cement into the forms in a manner very similar to the way floor slabs are poured.

Photo courtesy of constructionphotographs.com Workers use a variety of equipment, including power trowels, to make sure the panels are level and smooth. These panels will become the exterior (and sometimes interior) walls of the building, necessitating a consistent smoothness or texture on all the panels.

An experienced crew can take a large project from bare slab to completed panels in a matter of two weeks.
