If you have been following the construction
of the Wilshire Grand Center in downtown L.A., you may be interested in a new time-lapsed
video that shows a bird's-eye view of the progress that was released by Wilshire
Grand Project/Turner Construction. The
video can be found on the Wilshire Grand’s facebook page. While
you are there, be sure to take a look at the great picture of Conco’s
hardworking wall crew that is straight from the jobsite.
The new video is comprised of images
from a camera that was installed at the building site in late 2012. It starts by documenting the deconstruction
of the old Wilshire Grand and continues right up to the current progress in
August, 2015. The tower now stands at
more than 50-stories tall and is becoming quite a presence in the area.
The $1 billion-plus project has
experienced many firsts such as when The Conco Companies set a world record for the largest concrete
pour in February, 2014, and by employing the use of a special
cantilever crane that is more commonly seen in cities such as New York. Furthermore, the building’s design has been put
through rigorous, sophisticated earthquake testing, and as such, is being built
to withstand strong seismic activity. Once
complete the 73-story Grand is slated to become the tallest building in the
U.S. west of the Mississippi and will stand 1,100 feet tall from the ground
level to the top of the spire.
As well as providing extensive
concrete services for the new Wilshire Grand, Conco is busy working
on projects throughout the Western United States. Check out our website to take a look at the vast
range of projects we have been a part of as well as those we are currently
working on.
The Conco Companies are a leading
supplier of concrete services for the Western United States. We have built a
