Site Visit:
Currently under construction-
Location: Corner of Hope Street and La Trobe Terrace, Geelong West
This office building is currnetly under construction, at the stage of the wall panels being tilted up. The process that was used on this site was, stack casting on site. This process requires separate casting panels with bond breakers required to separate the panels.





















































The stack casting were tilted up into position by use of a crance, then the panels are braced, the bracing does affect the casting location, particularly at the corners. Therefore alot of planning is required before placement.



The panels appear to be a face joint, which is a backing rod and sealant system.
