Watch Our Crews in Action on a 4,620 Cubic Yard Mat Pour



   
 

If you want an opportunity to see our highly-efficient Conco crews at their best, take a look at our time-lapse video of the 4,620 cubic yard mat pour for the 970 Denny Way project.  The mixed-use redevelopment project in Seattle, Washington is being developed by the Holland Partner Group, with Holland Construction acting as the general contractor.      

The 970 Denny Way mat pour took place on July 23rd and was done over approximately 15 hours.  Our crew started at 2:00 am and finished around 5:00 pm.  The job took 4,620 cubic yards of concrete to form the 15,300 square foot mat foundation for the new 40-story apartment/retail building. In addition to the concrete, the foundation also used 1.3 million pounds of rebar.  All of the ready mixed concrete was supplied by CalPortland.  Our video adeptly illustrates the kind of teamwork required to get such a large job done in a relatively short amount of time.  

Now that the mat pour is complete, construction on the South Lake Union neighborhood building has begun in earnest.  Once it is finished, the building will feature 468 apartment units in various configurations, 15,580 square feet of retail space, and four levels of sub-grade parking.  The core of the building will be constructed using 386 steel fiber-reinforced concrete coupling beams. 

Our website and YouTube also have a selection of other mat pours that we have completed over the last several years.  One of our time-lapse videos is for an impressive 12,000 cubic yard mat pour for a new skyscraper under construction in the heart of the financial district of San Francisco. This massive pour was completed over the course of 16 hours.  Along with the help of 7 concrete boom pumps, the project went off without an accident or any problems despite the challenging logistics and setting.

At The Conco Companies, we are one of the leading concrete contractors in the Western U.S. and offer a wide range of quality services and products.  Our experience includes providing services for commercial, educational, parking and other construction development as well as public works projects.  We serve California, Washington State, Oregon, Colorado and Nevada.
