Insulated Concrete Tilt Wall Panels

Offering design flexibility with rapid installation precast concrete sandwich wall panels deliver a complete energy efficient building envelope including exterior membrane moisture barrier insulation and interior finish.

Insulated concrete tilt wall panels.

Cgs can recommend experienced concreters that are familiar with our system and provide a high level of specialist support to architects engineers and concreters who may be new to the thermomass system. Insulated tilt up construction is an economically efficient way of casting wall panels with the thermomass insulation systems. The insulated concrete panel system is used in precast tilt up and insitu applications. Insulated concrete tilt up wall panels create a tight building envelope resulting in a highly energy efficient building.

With over 35 years of experience we are the undisputed leader in concrete sandwich wall technology and can help you create building envelopes that maximize energy efficiency durability and performance. By chris von handorf p e. An insulated concrete wall panel system is designed to provide a service life of around 75 years with very little ongoing maintenance concrete. Panels are produced on site by using the building floor slab as the primary casting surface.

The same provisions are presented in aci 318 14 but. The design guide for tilt up concrete panels aci 551 states that tilt up concrete walls can be analyzed using the provisions of chapter 14 of the aci 318 11. Insulated precast concrete wall panels can be created as a complete system that includes insulation and a moisture barrier as well as an exterior membrane and interior finish. This eliminates the cost of transporting panels to the site plus it uses local materials and labor.

Even composite concrete wall systems have been around for decades. With fewer panel joints tilt up insulated concrete panels provide continuous insulation and a true thermal envelope which is now a building code and energy code requirement. However composite tilt up panels are more complex in design and construction than non composite insulated tilt up panels and have unique issues designers and builders need to account for some of which are listed below. Reinforced icast panels use up to 40 less concrete and 30 less steel reinforcement than flat slab tilt up panels.

Precast panels can be separated with concrete ribs and include pockets of interrupted insulation where air and water can infiltrate. These components come together in one simple to install system that can be erected in much less time than traditional building methods. We manufacture and distribute a full line of concrete insulation systems for use in plant precast site cast tilt up and cast in place projects. Most walls and especially slender walls are widely evaluated using the alternative design of slender walls in section 14 8.
