Concrete Warehouses
At Port Hunter Building we have the practical experience to build your warehouse, no matter the form of construction.
When it comes to concrete warehousing we can provide:
- Tilt-up or Tiltwall Construction
- Precast Construction
Tilt-up and tiltwall both refer to the same process of manufacture and construction. Forms are made on-site and poured, making large slabs called panels. They are then tilted into position on the building slab. Because no transportation to site is required these panels can be immense in size – greater than 20 metres in width and 28 metres in height – thus providing great flexibility in design and planning.
Because of Newcastle’s climate, tilt-up and tiltwall is an ideal method of construction. As construction is outdoors and requires no freezing temperatures, there are few, if any, days throughout the year where work need stop.
Precast concrete walls are similar to tiltwall construction except their forms are poured indoors at an off-site facility. This means manufacture is not dependent on weather conditions, but does mean that panels are limited to transportable sizes.
