Hilton Inn – Lift Slab Construction Innovation

W.A. Klinger broke new ground in 1974 with the construction of the Hilton Inn, a 12-story hotel and convention center utilizing Lift Slab Construction. This cutting-edge technique involved pouring each floor at ground level and then lifting them into place with hydraulic jacks. By streamlining the process, Klinger reduced labor and time, making the Hilton Inn project a showcase of modern construction efficiency.
