Like any company you’d find in a community, the Conco Companies provide essential products and services to keep the city running smoothly. At the same time, the nature of Conco’s concrete services pushes us to parts of the city that aren't typically seen by the general public. Our corporate yard is one such “hidden” area, located in an unincorporated part of Contra Costa County near Martinez, CA. It is zoned as an industrial property and thus is surrounded by similar businesses, including a refinery, sewage treatment plant, and a dump site.

The Conco Companies began construction on the Mt. San Antonio College (SAC) Student Center on December 10, 2020. The original center opened in 1953 on a much smaller campus and needs to be expanded and updated for Mt. SAC’s current needs. Conco is providing a multitude of concrete services including but not limited to formwork, shoring, pumping, and rebar fabrication. Working alongside Conco are the general contractor Tilden-Coil (CM), HPI Architecture, and MHP Structural Engineers.

The new Santa Rosa Criminal Courthouse will use the following Conco services: concrete pumping, concrete reinforcement, concrete formwork, concrete finishing, shotcrete, and Confoam. The courthouse will be located on the Sonoma County Administration Campus on Ventura Avenue, north of downtown Santa Rosa, and on the cleared site where the Old Jail facility stood.

The courthouse will be 6 stories above ground and include a basement level. The lower 2 levels will contain courtrooms, general parking, and secured parking, with the upper 4 levels containing additional courtrooms and court administration offices. There will be 430 parking stalls available for daily operations within the courthouse, along with an additional 20 stalls for secured parking.

The new courthouse will contain 15 courtrooms and provide criminal, traffic, and juvenile dependency proceedings for the county. With an expanded size, the courthouse will include new features, such as larger jury rooms, in-custody holding, attorney interview and witness waiting rooms, a children’s waiting room, and a security entrance for screening court visitors.

Conco is expecting to place 11,000 cubic yards total of concrete and shotcrete, and 1,900,000 pounds of reinforcing bar. Rudolph & Sletten are overseeing the complete building process, partnering with Richard Meier & Partners Architects, Englekirk Institutional engineers, and Conco commercial concrete services.

Construction of the new courthouse began in June 2021, with anticipated completion in July 2023. It will total approximately 169,147 Building Gross SF (BGSF). Conco is excited to add a courthouse to our portfolio of projects in Western California, which will provide ongoing savings by consolidating court services.

Conco is one of the foremost suppliers of concrete services for the Western U.S. We started in 1959 in the Bay Area by offering clients the best value on a broad range of concrete services and products. Since then, we have taken a leading role as top concrete contractors in the region. We have regional offices serving California, Portland, and Washington.

Conco is providing concrete services for the Lytton Rancheria of CA, a federally recognized American Indian Tribe. The Lytton Rancheria Project is located at the corner of Windsor River Road and Eastside Road, and is a residence consisting of 127 buildings, a Tribal Community Center, and a retreat. The residential units will be broken down into 95 single-family houses, 24 cottage-style houses, and 28 multi-family housing units.

The community will have sustainable features such as stormwater runoff treatment and containment, water-efficient landscaping, energy-efficient buildings, and renewable, recycled, or low volatile organic compounds. In addition to a community center and retreat, there will be a ceremonial Roundhouse and multi-use trails. All buildings will meet the equivalent standards of the California Building Code (CBC) and the seismic design standards for Seismic Zone 4 as stated in the Uniform Building Code (UBC).

Conco’s services will range from concrete pumping to shotcrete. We’re expecting to place 11,200 cubic yards of concrete and shotcrete, and 1,300,000 pounds of reinforcing bar. We’re excited to help Lytton Rancheria establish a homeland and reunite tribal members, setting roots for future generations. They will be able to provide self-governmental services for tribe members (e.g. housing, health care, education) and protect their ties to the land.
