You will need to comply with this standard if you are an employer, main contractor or self-employed person and intend undertake any tilt-up work. Tilt-up work includes the:
- manufacture, transport, cranage, temporary storage, erection or temporary bracing of a concrete panel
- fixing of a concrete panel for the incorporation of the panel as a wall
- removal of temporary bracing of a concrete panel.
This standard sets out the requirements for the planning, design, casting, transportation and erection of tilt-up panels. Tilt-up panels are essentially flat concrete panels; cast in a horizontal position, usually on-site; initially lifted by rotation about one edge until in a vertical or near-vertical position; transported and lifted into position if necessary; and then stabilised by bracing members until incorporated into the final structure.
