One of The Conco Companies most impressive
projects over the last few years was providing concrete services on the
Wilshire Grand Center in downtown L.A.
Now after four years of construction, the 73-story tower officially
opened on June 23, 2017. Costing $1.35
billion, the 1,100 ft. tall skyscraper is the tallest building west of the
Mississippi. The opening ceremony for the skyscraper
included local dignitaries and politicians as well as the owners of the
building, Korean Air.
The Conco Companies provide a wide range of concrete services including concrete reinforcement for all of your
rebar fabrication and installation needs.
By owning and operating two large rebar fabrication facilities in
California and Washington, we have the capacity to cost-effectively serve our
customers’ needs saving them both time and money. Also Conco’s highly skilled crews are trained
on the specialized tools used to fabricate, assemble, and install the rebar.
At The Conco Companies, our shotcrete
services provide an excellent alternative to traditional cast-in-place
walls. Since shotcrete is pneumatically
placed, it virtually eliminates the forming process, saving time and money,
while still offering the same structural characteristics as traditional concrete
methods. It is used for a wide range of
applications including retaining walls, shear walls, and architectural walls as
well as soil nailing and slope pavement.
As one of the leading commercial concrete contractors in the nation, The Conco Companies provide the Western
United States with a wide range of concrete services including producing and
placing cellular concrete. Also known as
foam concrete, cellular concrete provides customers with one of the most productive,
cost-effective solutions in a variety of applications.
We
are proud to announce that a project The Conco Companies provided concrete services for has won another award. The
LA Federal Courthouse in downtown LA was recently recognized as a “Gold Winner”
in the category for Best Sustainable Project by the LA
Business Journal‘s Commercial Real Estate Awards. Last year the Courthouse also won the “2016
Outstanding Achievement and Excellence in Concrete Construction” award
presented by the Southern California ACI chapter. In addition the project was selected to
compete at the national level at the 2017 ACI National Convention.
The Ten Thousand, a luxurious apartment
building in Century City that borders Beverly Hills, was recently recognized as
a “Gold Winner” in the category of the Best Multi-family Project from the LA Business Journal‘s Commercial Real
Estate Awards. The Conco Companies were
honored to provide concrete services on the 40-story, 483-foot residential
tower, which is quickly becoming one of the area’s iconic architectural
landmarks. The developer as well as
owner of the $300 million project is Crescent Heights. The architect is Handel Architects and Shamir
Shah Design the interior designer. Swinerton
Builders is the general contractor.
At The Conco Companies, we have
experience placing any type of concrete for a broad range of projects and in a
variety of weather conditions. Our crews
use several different methods for curing concrete as it is determined by the type
of construction and the concrete mix as well as outside temperatures and
humidity. Other considerations include
project specifications and/or parameters of the jobsite. However regardless of the technique used for
curing, it is important to keep the concrete moist and prevent further loss of
moisture.
