Supervise Tilt-Up Work

This Supervise Tilt Up Construction course is based on the requirements outlined in the Regulations, Code of Practice, and Standards. Covers the management of all 6 key stages of Tilt up Constructions including design, manufacture, erecting Tilt up Panels, Structural and Sign off stages. While the key topics we teach are in accordance with the government outline as shown below – the significant experience of a lifetime spent in the construction industry sets our training course apart with the benefit of unique insights, and contexturalised approach to training:

Provide effective administration.

• Read and interpret relevant project plans, details and specifications for tilt-up work.
• Store all structural and design documents, pre-cast panel shop drawings, layout plans and other required documents on site.
• Check licence and competency details of persons assigned to perform tilt-up work and ensure regulatory training requirements have been met.
• Check mandatory licences and approvals required for tilt-up work are obtained.
• Notify relevant regulatory authorities of work commencement and ensure the administration process is complete.

Plan work and set up site.

• Prepare and implement a site-specific work health and safety (WHS) management plan and work plan and apply WHS risk control measures.
• Provide site security, amenities, services and emergency/first aid facilities and prepare site procedures.
• Develop traffic management and public safety plans and procedures and plan exclusion zones for concrete panel delivery, casting and erection operations.
• Review and provide requirements for footings, structural elements, concrete slabs and site access roads for the tilt-up work.
• Determine suitable onsite crane operating positions in consultation with crane suppliers and operators.
• Identify ground conditions such as soak wells and drains likely to affect crane stability and check crane standing areas for strength and compaction.

Supervise and coordinate tilt-up work.

• Check concrete panel inspection records to confirm design specifications have been followed during panel fabrication and manufacture.
• Coordinate delivery sequence for concrete panels cast off site or coordinate a casting and curing schedule and distribution of panels on site.
• Supervise placement and storage of concrete panels onsite and ensure it meets engineer’s requirements.
• Put in place processes to ensure erection areas are cleared, exclusion zones set up, barriers erected, and site personnel advised of restricted access areas prior to erection of concrete panels.
• Check fixings and anchor bolts supplied for temporary bracing are compliant with designer and engineer specifications.
• Check correct type of braces, locating dowels and shims are correctly placed and components positioned and propped in accordance with shop drawings or as approved by the engineer.
• Supervise workers and contractors during the erection of the concrete panels and ensure that safe systems of work and safe work practices are enforced and followed.
• Use job safety and environmental analysis (JSEA) and other tools to identify hazards, assess risks and create safe systems in the event of unanticipated circumstances.

Confirm tilt-up stabilisation.

• Check erected concrete panels for compliance with design and engineering specifications.
• Check compliance of structural steel elements being fixed to the temporarily braced panels are in accordance with designed engineering specifications.
• Inspect integrity of erected structure prior to removal of temporary bracing to ensure it meets engineer certification.
• Supervise the sequential removal of temporary bracing.
• Oversee the safe removal of temporary bracing, plant and equipment from site.
• Supervise the completion of the erection work and clearing and cleaning of work areas prior to other trades being permitted to enter work zones.
• Notify relevant personnel of work completion and maintain site records to company requirements.
