Tilt Wall Ontario Wins Two Tilt-Up Awards

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

One award was given to the Home for Good, located in Belleville. The three-story, 41-unit apartment building is for individuals who are currently homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. Tilt Wall’s project timeline was tight, but we were 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 also a rare Excellence in Achievement Award. Which scored 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. On 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. As well as the need 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.”
