Riverside Continuation High School Project |
At The Conco Companies, we have extensive
experience working on projects in commercial, healthcare, industrial, and
parking as well as public works. In the
industry since 1959, we also provide concrete services for projects at educational
institutions. While some of these
projects may not be our largest or most renowned, we are proud of our continued
commitment to provide exemplary concrete services to enhance and benefit our
communities.
One of the projects we undertook several
years ago was for the new state-of-the-art University of California, Berkeley -
Davis Hall that houses their science and research facilities. The project’s
contractor was Hathaway-Dinwiddie, the architect was the Smith Group, Inc., and
the engineer was Forell/Elsesser Engineers.
The expanded building now includes the Civil and Environmental
Engineering Department as well as the Center for Information Technology
Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS).
Approximately 185,000 sq. ft. large, the new facility cost $18 million
to construct.
Another example of Conco’s commitment to
educational projects is the new Riverside Continuation High School. The prior structure had been in a
deteriorated state when the decision was made to totally replace the structure
with a new 34,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility. The contractor on the project was Broward
Builders, Inc. and the architect was California Design West. Conco provided concrete services for the
project, which was on an extremely tight timeline due to the need to be done
for the 2012 school year. Completed in
slightly less than a year from groundbreaking, the construction team worked
diligently to stay on budget and meet deadlines.
A recent trend in educational projects is to
construct buildings as “green” as possible and to utilize sustainable practices
that will save energy (and money) in future operational costs. One such project we were a part of was the award
winning 2,670-bed Poly Canyon Village at Cal Polytechnic State University in
San Luis Obispo. The large project was
built on a 30 acre site and included nine residential buildings, two parking
structures with 1,926 spaces, retail stores, a swimming pool, study rooms, and
administrative student support services.
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, Nevada, Colorado, Oregon,
and Washington.
