Tilt-up construction site



Nippa!



This is a connection between two tilt-up concrete slabs in a corner. A simple angle is used to join the two slabs.



Here the worker is working from a cherry picker which is highly manuverable and thus access to all areas on the inside of building are made accessible. Also, the worker is required to wear a safety harness by workcover according to OH+S regulations.



Tilt-up slabs required bracing so that other structural members can be put in place to hold the building together. This is because a tilt up slab does not support itself very well without other forms of reinforcement.
