The Biggest Little City in the World,
Reno, is not only for tourists heading to the casinos any more. These days, it
is a place that attracts people and businesses from all over Nevada and the
U.S. that are looking for an innovative and growing community to call home.
Several large and well-known companies have sites in the Reno-Sparks
metropolitan area, such as Tesla, Apple, eBay, and Amazon, and many more
continue to follow in their path. The city’s transformation into an oasis of
tech in the desert of Nevada has spurred many new construction projects to
accommodate the demand for commercial and industrial space, and has brought new
business to commercial concrete
contractors in Reno.
One example of these large-scale
commercial projects is the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center (TRIC). This massive industrial park houses fulfillment
centers for Walmart, Home Depot, and PetSmart, among the over 100 other
companies located on the 167 square mile site. TRIC is the largest industrial
park in the United States and continues to expand since its initial acreage was
purchased in 1998, eventually requiring the construction of its own parkway and
rail spur to meet the needs of the businesses and their several thousand
employees. Projects of this size require vast quantities of concrete for the
foundations, columns, and other key elements of the structures, and they
benefit greatly from the latest technology in concrete pumping.
Advanced technologies in concrete
The Conco Companies, a commercial concrete contractor, has an impressive
inventory of concrete pumps which can be utilized for timely and accurate
concrete placement, for unique or challenging projects requiring
state-of-the-art equipment, or for job sites seeking to
lower emissions. Their boom pumps range in size in order to accommodate
projects big and small, with pumps touting boom reaches of 53 feet to 175 feet.
The largest of their concrete pumps was successfully employed in placing
concrete on the highest floors of the Wilshire Grand in Los Angeles, the tallest
skyscraper on the West Coast. Conco uses the trusted brands Schwing and
Putzmeister, and has several electric pump options that decrease emissions and
noise levels on the job site while still providing high-pressure and high-power
concrete pumping.
The Conco Companies’ mission is to be
the best supplier of concrete services in the Western U.S. and to bring
expertise and incomparable quality to each project. We continue to upgrade and
expand our facilities to better serve the growing market for commercial,
educational, parking structures, public works projects, and other development.
