As one of the leading commercial
concrete contractors in the nation, The Conco Companies have had the
opportunity to be involved in many of the most interesting projects constructed
throughout the Western U.S. Many of the
projects we have undertaken include special challenges where we have
successfully designed innovative, creative solutions that allowed us meet or
exceed deadlines and stay on budget.
To highlight some of our
accomplishments, we have posted a number of YouTube videos demonstrating
Conco’s mastery in providing a range of concrete services. Many of our videos are time-lapsed records of
our mat foundation pours and are fun to watch.
One recent example, the 5th & Columbia Mat Foundation Time-lapsed
video showcases the June 20, 2015 mat pour.
The bird’s eye-view takes you through Conco’s extremely busy day where
we did the mat pour for The Mark, which is currently under construction in
Seattle, Washington. During the pour, we
laid down 4,925 cubic yards of concrete and used 1.5 million pounds of
reinforcing. In addition around 500
concrete truckloads were needed to complete the job.
The 44-story, 660-foot (200 m)-tall
skyscraper is scheduled for completion in April 2017 and is being constructed
on the same site where the Fifth and Columbia Tower once stood. The project is
being developed by Daniels Real Estate and will be comprised of a 184-room
luxury hotel along with 528,000 square feet of prime office space.
The Mark is slated to become the fifth
tallest building in Seattle and is the tallest building to be constructed in
the city since 1990. It is expected to
achieve LEED Gold. Features include a
system that captures rainwater for reuse as well as a 35-foot tall “living
wall” with growing plants along the Columbia Street facade. Additionally the tower will be equipped with a
rooftop solar energy system. The unique
design calls for the building to be the smallest at its base and for each floor
to be a different size.
The Conco Companies are a leading
supplier of concrete services for the Western United States. We have built a
reputation on superior concrete formwork, reinforcing, place and finish,
shotcrete and other ancillary services that benefit from our vast
experience. We have four regional
offices to serve Southern and Northern California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada
and Colorado.
