A titan tilt! Our Arizona team just made Layton history at Envision Dobbins by lifting our tallest ever tilt panels, soaring 86 feet high!
Even more impressive? The heaviest panel weighed in at 285,000 pounds. To safely execute these record-breaking lifts, we partnered with Sun Tec Concrete to implement rigorous safety measures, including:
• Comprehensive pre-lift planning sessions to analyze wind conditions, equipment positioning, and panel stress points, ensuring every team member understood their critical role.
• Enhanced bracing protocols specifically designed for these unprecedented panel heights, doubling down on stabilization measures.
• Real-time monitoring systems to track panel movement and structural integrity throughout the lifting process.
Pushing boundaries while keeping safety at the forefront—The Layton Way!
