The Tilt-Up Construction method was first introduced in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean by Aireko Enterprises during the mid-80’s.  In 1986, this innovative solution sped up the completion of the Mates National Guard Building in Salinas, PR.

 

Today, Aireko continues utilizing this proven method along with precast concrete building, to guarantee speed, safety and lower construction costs to those clients that request cost-effective solutions.

What is Tilt-up construction?

Tilt-up construction is a method by which the building's walls are poured directly at the jobsite in large slabs of concrete called "panels". These panels are then raised into position around the building's perimeter forming the exterior walls. Tilt-up construction allows general contractors to build a wide range of commercial buildings more quickly and with lower construction costs than what is typical for traditional masonry construction projects (definition provided by www.tiltupnews.com).
