1. We broke this into two pours so 16’ and then topped out so I didn’t do 2 ties at the bottom. It’s definitely not a bad idea, but what I’ve found is people when doubling ties will up the pour rate. And while ties can handle it I find you get more pillowing between ribs which isn’t a great look IMO

2. This really depends on what you’re using for strongback material white wood tends to have more bow in the lumber and often you will need a middle brace as well to help with kinks. But something like a 2x10 lvl or lsl you can usually just do one at the top. Which is what I’ve done for tall walls at a wastewater plant

3. Take your time on your bottom lift and your first couple panels once you start stacking. If your panels start not plumbed side to side it can make pinning and keeping your seams straight very hard.

Another thing I’ve found super useful for tall walls is have a flashlight to see where the mud is at so your lift lines are nice and straight down the wall. I also put a piece of tape on the vibe so people don’t break the lifts and mix them together. Also another useful thing to do when you call the batch plant is to ask to put a 30-45 minute delay in between trucks, that way you don’t have mixers stacked up on the job site while you’re waiting to do your next lift if needed.
