Tilt Wall Ontario Wins Two International Tilt-Up Achievement Awards

Woodstock, Ontario (November 2, 2020) Tilt Wall Ontario Inc. has been honoured with two awards Tilt-Up Achievement Awards for its off-grid Burk’s Falls residence project and affordable-housing project in Belleville.

One award was given for the Home for Good, located in Belleville. The three-storey, 41-unit apartment building for individuals who are currently or at risk of being homeless is a prime example of tilt-up construction perfection. Tilt Wall’s project timeline was tight, but was able to cast the concrete sandwich panels during the winter months using ground thaw units and a heated floor slab. The exterior of the building uses a combination of thin brick and textured paint to give it a clean but durable look.

The eco-friendly tilt-up residence in Burk’s Falls not only received a Tilt-Up Achievement Award, but a rare Excellence in Achievement Award, which score the highest in architectural and engineering creativity, and construction ingenuity.

“We wanted to build a home that didn’t require any heat at all and came up with a design that we thought could achieve it,” says Joe Vella of his award-winning residence. “Things happened very quickly and the [tilt-up] process worked very well…They formed the walls, poured the concrete and did the finishing in just over a month or so, with time for the concrete to cure.”

Innovation with Tilt-Up Construction

The worldwide recognition of these two projects highlights the need for the building industry to innovate as construction techniques improve and grow.

“Both structures are incredibly durable, airtight and a great example of tilt-up construction’s capability,” says Len Overbeek, co-founder of Tilt Wall Ontario Inc. “We’re thrilled to have been chosen to work on these projects and showcase the benefits of tilt-up construction to not only Ontario, but the world.”
