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.

Conco is Honored to Work with the Best!

As a subcontractor on several large construction projects throughout the West Coast, The Conco Companies have been privileged to work with some of the best contractors in the industry.  One of those companies is the Clark Construction Group.   

As one of the most experienced and respected building and civil construction firms in the United States, the Clark Construction Group has a reputation for transforming the ideas and visions of their clients into award-winning projects.  Their goals include building with the intention of exceeding clients’ expectations for safety, quality, functionality, and aesthetics, and deliver finished products that stand the test of time.  Clark has a large portfolio of projects that includes all sizes and levels of difficulty spanning from complicated interior renovations to some of the most complex civil operations in the country.  

One of the projects we are proud to be working with Clark on is the Salesforce Tower under construction in downtown San Francisco.  The  61-story, Class-A office tower will be one of the tallest buildings in the western United States at 1,070 feet and will surpass New York City’s Chrysler Building as the seventh tallest building in the country. 

Another memorable project that Conco assisted Clark with a few years ago was the Los Angeles Hall of Justice restoration project.  It included a design-build contract for structural, architectural, and aesthetic upgrades to the 1920s-era building.  As L.A.'s former county jail, the Hall of Justice was closed after it was damaged in the 1994 Northridge earthquake. The newly renovated space now includes the L.A. Sherriff's Department and members of the L.A. County District Attorney's staff. 

Conco also is working with Clark on the new VA Mental Health and Research (MH&R) building currently under construction in Seattle, WA.  For the $152 million project, we are providing all of the concrete pumping, formwork and place and finish services for the 219,000 SF project as well as supplying the reinforcement.  In addition we are providing shotcrete services for nonstructural site walls. 

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.

LA Federal Court House Project Wins Prestigious Award

One of the projects that The Conco Companies were proud to be a part of was the construction of the Los Angeles Federal Court House, which is affectionately known as “The Floating Cube.”  We are now pleased to report that this innovative construction project has won the “2016 Outstanding Achievement and Excellence in Concrete Construction” award recently presented by the Southern California chapter of the American Concrete Institute.    

In addition the building has been selected by the committee to compete on the national level at the Fall 2017 ACI National convention.  The event is scheduled to take place on October 15-19 in Anaheim, CA.  The project has already earned a Green Good Design award for “Green Architecture” in 2014. 

The LA Federal Court House was designed to address the federal government’s blast and set-back requirements, which helped to create the unique cantilevered look of a “floating cube” over the stone base.  The $400 million project broke ground in August 2013 and was completed in 2016.  The construction process also included providing safeguards against the threat of bombs or earthquakes and is considered to be one of the safest buildings in the country.  In addition the 630,000 GSF building has one level of below-grade parking. 

Conco provided professional reinforcing services as well as the construction of the concrete shear walls and the foundation.  Also due to the building’s California location, it required seismic design to be part of the structural engineering process.  To control lateral drifts, a state-of-the-art roof truss system was designed and engineered by the architects, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill. 

Conco would like to thank our partners at Clark Construction and Skidmore, Owings & Merrill design group for their forward thinking on design, innovation, and coordination that was required to achieve this distinguished Los Angeles landmark.   We will keep you posted on the outcome of the national competition next fall. 

Conco’s mission is to be the best supplier of concrete services in the Western United States and to bring expertise, experience and quality to each project.  We continue to upgrade and expand facilities to better serve the growing market for public works projects, commercial, parking structures, educational, and other construction development. We serve California, Washington State, Oregon, Colorado and Nevada.
