Conco is Pre-Qualified with Hoop Welding for Caltrans, a process which can take up to a year to achieve through many stringent testing criteria.  Conco has invested in the time, people, and the proper equipment to meet this qualification process for Caltrans and a lot more.

With Conco Reinforcing at our Benicia Rebar fabrication shop and Rail yard facility now being able to meet the Caltrans criteria, we are fabricating welded hoops. 

  An Example of this is the current Caltrans Project 01 – 366004 Eureka Slough.  This Project consists of 120 caissons (Piers drilled into the ground, filled with welded rebar hoops, vertical rebar, and concrete).  Depending on varying depths and widths each caisson can contain 300 or more certified welded Rebar hoops.  There are around 18,000 Certified welded rebar hoops on this job alone.

This added Caltrans welding certification along with the newly renovated Benicia Reinforcing facility has increased the capability to diversify what Conco is now able to do in its Pre-fabrication yard with its outdoor overhead cranes.  With Conco’s Hoop welding equipment 1 operator can weld up to 250 Certified hoops in one shift.  Conco currently has over 34,000 hoop welds on the books. 

We are thankful for the investment from Conco’s management and the hard work of the employees at our Benicia Facility that made this possible to be a pre-qualified hoop welding facility. We look forward to continuing to meet the industry demands along with a high quality of service. (YouTube VIDEO)
