Partnering with Some of the Biggest Names in the Industry


Another of the highly respected construction companies that The Conco Companies have been honored to work with is Turner Construction.   According to their website, they have a reputation for “undertaking large, complex projects, fostering innovation, embracing emerging technologies, and making a difference for their clients, employees and community.”  Turner is a North-American based company with 5,200 employees and has a record of completing $10 billion of construction on 1,500 projects each year.  

One notable project we worked with Turner on was the San Francisco 49ers new stadium.  The 1.85 million square foot Levi's Stadium was completed in 2014 and features 165 luxury suites, 9,000 club seats, an open pedestrian plaza, community space, a 49ers team store, and a 49ers Hall of Fame.  The stadium is also used for a number of other events including professional and college football, soccer, motocross, concerts, and civic events.   

During the construction of the stadium, Conco constructed slabs in excess of 2,000,000 square feet and used more than 65,000 cubic yards of concrete.  As the project was on an ambitious timeline, we worked in four separate areas simultaneously to complete the foundation and used the same techniques for the many deck pours.   

Another exciting project of Turner Construction, and one that we are honored to be a part of, is the Wilshire Grand Center in Los Angeles.  Expected to be complete in early March, the 73-story building will offer 20 floors of Class A office (400,000 square feet) and 42 floors of four-star hospitality with 900 guestrooms.  The 400,000 square feet of podium includes ballrooms, meeting rooms, retail and below grade parking for 1,250 cars.  The Wilshire Grand is the tallest building west of the Mississippi and presented a series of challenges that Conco and Turner have successfully met.   

The Conco Companies are a leading supplier of concrete services throughout the Western U.S.  We got our start in the Bay Area in 1959 by offering clients the best value on a wide range of concrete services and products and are now one of the foremost concrete contractors in the region. Our concrete services include commercial, educational, industrial and public works projects as well as parking structures.
