Plan the erection work and brief the work group
Set up site exclusions and access controls
Inspect foundations, anchors and set-out
Position cranes and other plant
Receive, stage, rig and test components before lifting
Erect columns, shafts and concrete panels
Install slabs and terrazzo units
Complete connections and grouting
Carry out slipform construction activities
Remove braces and supports, then clean up and sign off

Who is this for?

For contractors, workers, supervisors and businesses carrying out precast tilt-up and structural concrete work.
