South Florida Tilt-Up Concrete Panel Is A Record at 96.6 Ft
A Florida contractor has staked claim to a tilt-up concrete world record by forming and placing a 96.6-ft tall wall panel at a new parking garage. The panel is part of a 2,300-space, seven-story parking structure being built for a tribal hotel and casino.
“It’s official, this is a world record holder,” says James R. Baty II, technical director for the Tilt-Up Concrete Association, Mount Vernon, Iowa. “The previous two record holders achieved their height by extending only a portion of their panels, whereas this panel is a fully extended rectangular panel.”
