Safety Information
Read, understand and follow the information in this publication before using any SureBuilt tilt-up products and accessories. When in doubt
about the proper use or installation of any SureBuilt product, immediately contact the nearest SureBuilt branch for clarification.
SureBuilt products are intended for use by trained, qualified and experienced users only. Misuse or lack of supervision and/or inspection can
contribute to serious accidents or deaths. Any application other than those shown in this publication should be carefully tested and supervised
before use.
The user of SureBuilt products must evaluate the application, determine the safe working load and control all field conditions to prevent load in
excess of product(s) capacity. Safety factors shown in this publication are approximate minimum values. The data used to develop safe working
loads for products is a combination of actual testing and/or other industry sources. Do not exceed the recommended safe working loads.
Worn Parts
For safety, tilt-up products and accessories must be properly used and maintained. Products may be subject to wear, overloading, corrosion,
deformation, alteration and other factors that may affect performance. It is the responsibility of the user to schedule regular inspections and
remove worn and damaged parts from service.
Field Modification
Field welding can compromise product performance, alter load capacities, and create hazardous situations. Consult with a local welding supply
dealer to determine appropriate welding procedures. Do not weld any casting unless approved by a licensed metallurgical engineer. Since
SureBuilt can not control workmanship or site conditions, SureBuilt can not be responsible for any product alterations or field modifications.
Interchangeability
Tilt-up products manufactured and supplied by SureBuilt are designed as a system. When used properly, SureBuilt products have proven
to be among the best designed and safest in the industry. SureBuilt strongly discourages efforts to interchange products supplied by other
manufacturers because it may diminish performance and safety of the system.
Design Changes
SureBuilt reserves the right to change product designs, specifications, capacities and/or dimensions at any time and without prior notice.
Safety Factors
Safety factors established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Act Part 1910 and American National Standards
Institute (ANSI 10.9) are recommended. Contact SureBuilt Engineering for questions or concerns regarding unforeseen site conditions. Safety
factors should be adjusted when different or unusual conditions are known to exist.
Panel weight – The inserts must be positioned as instructed to obtain equal load.
Industry Recommendation
Angle Factor – The length of the sling and position of the inserts affect the load. Safety Factor* Intended Application
Angle in relation to concrete 90° 75° 60° 45° 30° 1.67 to 1 ** Wall Braces
Angle in relation to longitudinal axis 0° 15° 30° 45° 60° 2 to 1 Brace Inserts
Increase of force in sling 1 1.04 1.16 1.43 2.00 2 to 1 Lifting Inserts (single use)
3 to 1 Permanent panel connections
4 to 1 Panel handling (multiple lifts)
Impact Factor – The lifting and handling of tilt-up panels affect the load.
5 to 1 Lifting/Reusable Hardware
Mobile crane at site Force multiple of 1.5 to 1.7
* Minimum requirement.
Handling over uneven terrain Force multiple of 1.6 to 2.0
** Assumes ASD loads.
Extreme circumstances Force multiple of > 2.0
Adhesion Factor – The strength of adhesive forces depends on the shape and texture of the panel face, the surface on which the panel was placed,
and/or the presence of water on the surface. The proper application of bondbreaker and the removal of any excess water is assumed in all cases.
Special considerations – For panels with complicated shapes, especially panels which may create suction during erection, higher factors must be
considered. The resulting forces can be may times higher than the panel weight as represented by the following formula:
Panel Weight x Angle Factor x Impact Factor x Adhesion Factor*
Force = Number of Anchors
* The 2.5:1 safety factor already assumes 1.25 adhesion factor.

Drop-Forged Foot Erection Anchor
The Drop-Forged Foot Erection Anchor has a specially
designed shape for precast concrete edge lifts that
make it easier to install without reducCing the load C
capacity.
The protrusions or “ears” at the top of the anchor
restrict rotation during lifting, protecting the concrete
from spalling. The body is shaped to allow for full panel
reinforcement, providing support during lifting. The
integrated foot eliminates the need for an additional
shear bar, simplifying anchor installation.
During panel rotation, the sling angle should be
perpendicular to the surface. The anchors will not be
bearing the full weight of the panel.
B B
Once the panel has been rotated to vertical, the
tension is initiated. During this phase, the drop forged
foot at the bottom develops a tension load.

Lifting System
The lifting system consists of two inserts, two Ring Clutches and a
Spreader Beam with two 10 ton shackles.
To develop the safe working load, inserts must be properly
positioned within the panel dimension. Single inserts must be
accurately spaced 18” on-center or a double insert must be the
used. Improper positioning or inaccurate spacing will affect and
reduce the lifting capacity.
The Double Insert (SL or PRO) is a fixed position assembly that
simplifies the panel installation and matches the Spreader Beam Spreader Beam is used with
spacing. double inserts and two Ring
Clutches for heavier panels.
Spreader Beam with Twin Shackles
The Spreader Beam is designed with two 10 ton shackles and
must be used with two ground release Ring Clutches. This will
eliminate many of the rigging challenges for very large or heavy
tilt-up panels.
The large center hole in the Spreader Beam will accept the many
different sizes of shackles used by tilt-up panel erectors.

Emergency Lifting Plate
The Emergency Lift Plate is designed for situations when the
original insert is improperly located or unusable. The plate is
attached to the tilt-up panel using Concrete Screw Anchor Bolts
3/4”x6” (recommended) or equivalent. Refer to manufacturer
instructions and load chart for proper anchor installation and
capacity.
The Emergency Lift Plate should be installed over the original
insert location or in alternate position designated by an
Emergency Lifting Plate
experienced tilt-up professional. If uncertain about the location,
contact the lift/brace engineer for further recommendations.
Always be certain the Emergency Lift Plate is aligned with crane
rigging cables. Plate connects to rigging with a 10 ton shackle.
The Emergency Lift Plate has a maximum safe working load
(SWL) of 22,000 lbs. (at 5:1 safety factor) and should never be
used in excess of that capacity.
When drilling holes for anchors, be careful not to inadvertently
damage structural rebar in the tilt-up panel. Only the Engineer
of Record (EOR) can approve deviations in the rebar design or
integrity. Contact the lift/brace engineer if additional reinforcing or
another configuration is needed for lifting purposes.

Warning:
1. Concrete must have a minimum of 3,000 psi compressive strength.
2. Do not use the Concrete Screw Anchor Bolts in tilt-up panels thinner than 7”.
3. Edge distance should be a minimum of 12” to center of holes.
4. Do not reuse Concrete Screw Anchor Bolts.
Installation:
1. Drill holes at 90 degree angle to the panel surface using a 3/4” diameter carbide-tipped drill bit.
2. Drill a minimum of 5-3/4” deep for 6” anchor into the panel. Use the Emergency Lift Plate as a template.
3. Clean the drilled holes with compressed air or blow-out bulb.
4. Only use new Anchors with clean and undamaged threads.
5. Place Emergency Lift Plate over the holes and position Anchors.
6. Securely tighten the anchor using a 3/4” impact wrench to a minimum of 100 ft-lbs torque.
7. Use 3/4” F436 Structural Washer where needed.

Strongback
Strongbacks consist of back-to-back steel channels that are
spliced together with butt plates and grade 8, 3/4″ bolts torqued to
140 ft*lb to create the required length.
Strongbacks are used to reinforce critical areas of panels during
erection. Assembled strongbacks provide an open channel over
the entire length for bolting to panel inserts.
Panels with door and window openings may require strongbacks
Strongbacks can be bolted to
for temporary support during erection. As a guideline, when any
create different lengths.
concrete dimension is less than 2 feet wide or any panel thickness
is less than 7”, strongbacks are recommended.
Strongbacks can be placed near or over panel openings to
prevent “hinge” cracking during lifting. The panel engineering
company must advise on inserts, spacing and waler length.
Strongbacks are temporarily bolted to each insert with a coil rod,
washer and nut. The coil rod is placed between the back-to-back
channels with the washer bearing on the waler. When bolted the
strongback reinforces the panel for handling.

Helical Ground Anchor
The Helical Ground Anchor provides temporary and reusable
ground support method for anchoring braces.
HGAs provide an engineered alternative to slab bolting or
concrete deadmen. The anchor is a square steel shaft with
helix plates that “screws” into the ground with continuous
downward force. The anchor will establish a load capacity for
subsequent brace attachment (depending on the soil condition
and strata).
HGAs are both economical and effective. Benefits include:
eliminating forming and handling a concrete deadman at each
brace location, eliminating drilling, bolting and patching the
floor slab at each brace location, and a verifiable load rating in
all soil conditions from the torque installation method.
HGAs provide a quick installation and removal method
A skidsteer with a torque motor

Helical Ground Anchor Installation
1. The Helical Ground Anchor should be installed by a trained professional using a skidsteer with a torque
motor. Do not weld, cut or alter the Helical Ground Anchor. Do not use worn or damaged components.
2. All subsurface structures and utilities must be properly marked before Helical Ground Anchor installation
begins. Provide horizontal clearance of 5’ in all directions.
3. The Helical Ground Anchor must be installed with continuous downward pressure to a minimum torque of
2,400 ft-lbs. A Helical Anchor Extension is necessary if the minimum is not achieved.
4. A field log of the site location and torque value of each and every Helical Ground Anchor is required for all
construction projects. Prevent soil erosion at all anchor locations.
5. The Helical Ground Anchor must be installed in line with the brace for maximum capacity. Alternative
geometry requires appropriate bracing and anchoring calculations.
6. The HGA Bracket, with optional single or double mounting plate, must be used for the brace connection.
The bracket attaches to the anchor and the brace shoe bolts directly to the bracket plate.

Panel Base Connector*
The Panel Base Connector is easy to position and
fasten at the bottom edge of the form. It can be
placed in either a face-up or face-down orientation
depending on the forming and handling preference.
The high-strength, drill-in 3/4”x10” screw anchor
provides an immediate and secure connection when
tightened. There is no grout set-up or wait time.
The connection is centered in the concrete panel,
minimizing moment and eccentric forces in the
design, and resisting in-plane tension and out-of-
plane shear forces.
The connection provides a nominal capacity in
excess of 10 Kips for shear and tension, meeting the
applicable ACI requirements. Note: 7” Screw Anchor engagement required

Slant Anchor*
The Slant Anchor assembly connects tilt-up or precast panels to
the foundation. The assembly includes a load-rated Slant Anchor,
foam Void Former, high-strength Ductile Bar and pre-packaged
Flowable Grout.
The Slant Anchor is integral to panel design and planning. The
anchors are positioned and reinforced in each panel during
concrete forming operations. The foam Void Former covers the
connection sleeve during concrete placement.
Once a completed concrete panel is ready for installation, the foam
Void Former is removed. The connection sleeve is now visible and
accessible for subsequent anchoring.
Each concrete panel is positioned on the foundation and braced.
A hole is drilled into the foundation footing using the connection

The Edge Connector is a rebar-winged embed
designed for tilt-up concrete applications. The “wing”
is tied into the panel reinforcing steel, with the “flat”
positioned at the panel edge for later welding.
The rectangular “flat” on the Edge Connector
provides for a thicker, more reliable, field welding
surface between adjoining panels. The rectangular
shape exhibits greater weld strength, with less
variability, compared to typical round slugs.
The Edge Connector exhibits excellent performance
in Horizontal Shear, Tension and Vertical Shear,

FRP Truss
The truss develops strength and rigidity from a fiber-
reinforced design. Two parallel #2 FRP deformed
reinforcement bars are attached inline or on either
side of the wave of #2 FRP reinforcement bar using
connectors every 8”. Foam insulation is placed
between lengths of truss, connecting the top and
bottom concrete.
The fiber-reinforced material improves the thermal
efficiency of “sandwich” panels and reduces cold
bridging. The truss shape provides composite action
between the top and bottom concrete, supporting
all working loads, including stripping, handling and
installing tilt-up panels. FRP Truss data available for

Coatings and Finishes
Products manufactured by SureBuilt Concrete Forms & Accessories can be supplied in several different
coatings or finishes to meet specific corrosion requirements. Whenever the coating or finish is not specified,
the standard Plain product will be supplied.
Plain
Uncoated steel, commonly referred to as Plain, Black, Basic or Raw, will corrode when exposed to the
environment on project sites.
Mechanical Plating
An effective means of applying zinc, tin, or other ductile metals or mixtures of ductile metals to metal
substrates – usually steel. In the mechanical plating process, impact energy is transferred from a rotating
open – ended oblique barrel through glass beads, resulting in the cold-welding of fine metal dust particles
to the substrate. The resulting deposit is slightly porous, matte in finish, and provides corrosion protection to
the articles so plated without introducing hydrogen embrittlement into the part. It is used widely to provide
corrosion protection.
Electroplating
Can be a bright shiny or sometimes dull zinc finish, generally .0002 to .001 inches thick. Degree of corrosion
protection will vary and is often dependent on the severity of the particular environment.
Hot-Dip Galvanizing
Semi-bright to a very dull finish, much heavier coating than the Electroplating process. HDG provides a higher
degree of corrosion protection than the Electroplate, but is not suitable for threaded products or any tight fitting
items. High carbon steels are not suitable for HDG.
Epoxy Coating
A slick, shiny epoxy coating applied to a finished product by means of the electrostatic or fluidized bed method.
Coating thickness will vary from .005 inches to .012 inches. Epoxy coatings provide very effective corrosion
protection in hostile environments such as around or over salt water, or high chemical contaminated areas.
Guarding Against Embrittlement
Carbon steels, cold-worked steels, heat-treated steels are susceptible to embrittlement in electroplating
operations, from either or both the cleaning/pickling or coating process. Any steel having been severely cold-
worked must be stress-relieved before baking and prior to either electroplating or HDG.
Any steel of significant high-strength or high-carbon susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement during the
electroplating or HDG process must be baked before the coating process is started to drive out excess
hydrogen. Some items are not suitable for HDG because of the material properties. Contact SureBuilt
Technical Service for further information.

Warnings
Warning
Always follow instructions of product manufacturers.
Various construction products are specified within these drawings. These products shall be used in complete accordance with the product manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to do so may resort in property damage, injury or death.
Warning
Do not substitute products or interchange components from different manufacturers.
Substituted products may not have the same load carrying capacity or functionality as those specified. Product components from different manufacturers may not be compatible, causing product malfunction and/or a reduction in the products load carrying capacity. Either case may result in an unexpected failure of the product, resulting in possible property damage, injury or death.
Warning
Do not use damaged or worn products and equipment.
All construction products, equipment, hardware and braces shall be inspected for damage and wear prior to use. Damaged or worn items shall not be used as malfunction and/or reduced load carrying capacity could result in unexpected failure causing possible property damage, injury, or death.
Warning
Stay clear of tilt-up panels during erection.
Do not get beneath panels. Do not ride or climb on panels. Stay clear of panel fall zones. Failure to do so may result in property damage, injury, or death.
Warning
Do not alter rigging, reinforcing steel or strongbacks.
Altering the rigging can change the applied lift insert loads, panel stresses and overall behavior of the panel during erection. Altering or omitting reinforcing steel or strongbacks can cause cracking or complete panel collapse during erection. Both can lead to property damage, severe injury or death.
Warning
Follow all OSHA Standards and other applicable safety standards.
Pay particular attention to OSHA 1926(b)(1) through (2), 1926.21(b)(2) and 1926.704; and PCI Erection Safety Manual (MNL 132). Failure to do so may result in property damage. Injury, or death.
Warning
Do not deviate from the information shown on the drawings without notifying and obtaining approval from Surebuilt Engineering Services.
DANGER
Falling Panels, bracing or hardware can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
Read all instructions and notes contained within this tilt-up construction drawings booklet. All information should be clearly understood by all job site personnel involved in the construction and erection process prior to proceeding with construction. If anyone is unclear as to the intent of the drawings or notes, contact Surebuilt Engineering Services for clarification.
Failure to follow all instructions and warnings contained herein, may result in exposure of workers and other personnel in the area of the job site to unsafe conditions or hazards that can cause property damage, severe injury or death.
