UNDER CONSTRUCTION
TYPICAL 'TILT-UP' CONCRETE PANEL CONSTRUCTION FOR TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT, 1405 MALVERN RD, MALVERN



Overall perspective of the narrow site . Staggered panel heights to the right show how builders have allowed for the slope of the site.

Stainless steel braces connected to mould-cast inserts
Side perspective of L-bracket support beam running the length of the wall
Bracing bolted into strip footing (adjustable tensioning screw also visible)


40mm high seating shims were used on several of the panels allowing for inaccurate concreting work. (bevilled panel edges also visible here)

Square inset craning connection point clearly visible towards the top left of the concrete panel

Braces at a 45 degree angle to concrete panels, minimum of two per panel
(support bars can be seen at the top of each panel)



Bolted brace connection to panel
