World-Class Education for Today's Tilt-Up Professionals
Training Courses
One of the great advantages of active involvement with the Tilt-Up Concrete Association is the opportunity for discourse across disciplines (architecture, engineering, construction, supply). Many of the education sessions presented below feature talks bringing together these sometimes divergent interests to highlight common issues, shared responsibilities, and opportunities for increased collaboration. Additionally, several more focused talks for designers and contractors dive deeper into topics specific to each.
