Founded in 1986, the Tilt-Up Concrete Association (TCA) strives to improve the quality and acceptance of site-cast tilt-up construction, a system in which concrete wall panels are cast on-site and tilted into place. TCA is the international nonprofit trade association for the global tilt-up industry. Combining the advantages of reasonable cost with low maintenance, durability, speed of construction and minimal capital investment, the industry is rapidly expanding. The mission of the TCA is to expand and improve the use of tilt-up as the preferred building system by providing education and resources that enhance quality and performance.
