Phase IV Expansion and Remodel Project at John Muir Medical Center – Walnut Creek Campus. The 400,000 square-foot expansion added a new, five-story tower, underground loading dock and a Central Utility Plant to the medical center’s Walnut Creek campus. The new tower is a steel-braced frame with concrete slab over metal deck. The main lobby features a cast in place concrete water feature rotunda. The hospital also features several gardens with architectural concrete at various roof levels.

Video 1 – Conco was responsible for all of the cast-in-place concrete, formwork, rebar, shotcrete and concrete pumping. The 4,600 cy mat foundation pour began on January 26th at 2:30 AM and was completed by 9:00 PM. Conco is targeting January 2014 for the topping out of this 42 story project.

Video 2 – Conco shot a time-lapse video of a full day on our 815 Pine project. The video was shot from the tower crane and shows the full concrete pour sequence of deck and all the vertical concrete in 1 shift. It goes quickly, but the order in which they pour is post-tensioned slab outside the core, post-tensioned slab inside the core (they are pouring through trapdoors in the core work deck), core walls, then columns.

Upon completion this will be a 740,000 sqft facility including a 30,000 sqft utility plant, a surface parking lot for up to 2,100 vehicles, and 264-bed acute-care medical center. In addition to performing all of the structural concrete work on the project, Conco belted and placed more than 18,000 tons of aggregate underslab material.

Conco was awarded a concrete contract by Holland Partners for a 21-story luxury apartment building at 1650 Wewatta, which is next to the historic Union Station in downtown Denver. The project will include 288 apartment units, 260 parking spaces, and approximately 7,000 SF of retail space. We broke ground in early 2013 and should be completed in 2014. This project will be about 18,700 CY when complete.
