The Conco Companies recently embarked on another challenging project in Southern CA. This time we are providing a full range of concrete services for the Midfield Satellite Concourse North and the Baggage Optimization Project (BOP) that are part of a new addition to LAX’s Tom Bradley International Terminal (TBIT).

When complete, the Concourse will offer 12 new aircraft gates as well as restrooms, retail and concession spaces and will be connected to the TBIT by a 1,000-foot-long pedestrian tunnel with moving walkways and a utility tunnel. The project also includes 1.5 million square feet of new aircraft apron and taxiways/taxilanes along with underground utility improvements to support the new gates and baggage processing capacity.

The $1.6 billion project is funded by LAX operating revenues, fees and other proceeds. The General Contractor, Turner/PCL Joint Venture, was awarded the design/build contract. It is also designed by Corgan Architects in association with Gensler and gkkworks. Structural engineers are Saiful-Bouquet and Buehler & Buehler.

The scope of Conco’s responsibilities for the new five-level Concourse and BOP includes concrete pumping, reinforcement, and formwork. In addition we will provide the project’s outlying areas with concrete reinforcement, formwork and shotcrete services. On the extensive tunnels, our crews will expertly handle the concrete finishing. During the course of the project, Conco will also offer design assistance to help ensure the best finished product.

As the large work area encompasses 640-acres, some of it is on or adjacent to active runways and other occupied areas. Couple that with varying soil conditions, obvious security concerns, traffic, work time restrictions, concerns for local residents, and adhering to our number one priority – safety; it is a challenging project! Just like any design/build, a lot of coordination is needed among all trade partners, and we are excited to be part of such a great team. Also most design/build projects require lots of modifications and this project looks to be no different.

Conco is honored to be a part of a project that along with other planned improvements to the airport will have a dramatic impact on LAX and the 74 million travelers that pass through the facility each year. The Midfield Satellite Concourse terminal is expected to achieve LEED Silver certification and to meet the CAL Green Tier 1 requirements with sustainable features such as a “cool roof,” water-saving fixtures, and energy-saving operations. The project broke ground February 27, 2017 and is scheduled for completion sometime in 2019.

The Conco Companies is a leading supplier of concrete services throughout the Western U.S. We started 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. Our concrete services include commercial, educational, industrial and public works projects as well as parking structures.

The Conco Companies is providing a full range of concrete services on a 12-story, 145-foot tall mixed-use building in Portland, OR. The Modera Glisan will offer 291 residential units on the upper floors and retail and commercial space at ground level that will face all four adjacent streets. In addition, the Modera Glisan will have an underground parking garage with an estimated 223 parking spots as well as long-term parking for 445 bicycles. Materials for the exterior will include granite colored brick, a metal panel in two colors, an aluminum storefront, and glass balcony railings.

The project is being developed by the Mill Creek Resident Trust Company and the G.C. is MCRT PNW Construction, LLC. The architect is SERA Design and Architecture, Inc. and KPFF is the structural engineer.

Conco’s duties will include concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, finishing, shotcrete, and formwork. As the job requires an aggressive schedule, we will need to use multiple placing booms.

In addition to the Modera Glisan, Conco has just started another high-rise project directly across the street called 14^th & Glisan that is being developed by the Holland Partner Group. We are extremely pleased to have secured two such high profile projects in the area as we just officially opened our Portland office in April of this year. Also, this will be our first turn-key project with a new client.

The project site encompasses three-quarters of the block of NW Glisan St., 14th Ave, Hoyt St. and 15th. The L-shaped Modera Glisan will wrap around the historic Fire Station #3, which will remain on the site and be extensively renovated including seismic upgrades. Along Hoyt St, the building will be the full 12-stories high but drop to 10 stories along 14^th to blend in with the nearby Historic District. The high-rise will also offer an exterior terrace on top of the 10^th story that includes a pool, fire pit, outdoor kitchen, and hammocks. At the 12 floor, there will be a common room as well and another terrace.

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.

The Conco Companies is providing concrete services for a 972,782 sq. ft. residential project that is a part of the Esterra Park development in the City of Redmond, WA. Building “A” will be six stories and comprised of 215 residential units. Building “B/C” is actually two buildings that are connected by enclosed walkways and an amenities area that overlooks the development’s park. Building B will be six stories and offer 236 residential units, and C, 8 stories with 210 units. The project also includes an underground parking garage with 854 parking stalls.

The developer on the project is the Lincoln Property Company and the General Contractor is Venture GC. The architect is the Clark Design Group PLLC and the structural engineer is Yu & Trochalakis PLLC. According to the architect, each building is designed to take full advantage of the hillside topography and maximize views. In addition, the buildings offer good solar exposure as well as optimal plaza and courtyard widths and allow for excellent landscape opportunities.

Conco’s full range of responsibilities on the project includes concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, shotcrete, and finishing. We were selected for the job not only for our competitive bid but also for our extensive experience on large, challenging projects and the ability and resources to successfully manage an aggressive schedule. We started work in July 2017 and we expect to take approximately 15 months to complete our end. The entire project is scheduled to be completed by February 2019.

Along with residential housing, the Esterra Park development will offer 1.2 million square feet of office space and a 250-room hotel with both overnight and extended stay accommodations. Residents and workers alike will be able to walk a few short blocks to the Overlake Fashion Plaza and Overlake Plaza that offer a variety of retail shopping and restaurants. Also, the development offers easy access to public transportation along with high-quality rail transit to and from Esterra Park that will be available by 2023.

The Conco Companies is one of the foremost suppliers of concrete services for the Western U.S. We got our start in 1959 in the Bay Area by offering clients the best value on a broad range of concrete services and products. Since that time, we have taken a leading role as top concrete contractors in the region. We have four regional offices serving California, Oregon, Nevada, Colorado, and Washington.

The Conco Companies is providing a full range of concrete services for a new 16-story, mixed-use building project that is just getting underway in Portland, OR. The 14 & Glisan high-rise will be comprised of 230 residential units and approximately 4,285 square feet of ground floor retail space. The materials proposed for the tower’s exterior includes pre-cast concrete panel, brick veneer, aluminum storefront glazing and a unitized window wall system. The project also includes three levels of below grade parking to accommodate 201 vehicles.

The project is being developed by the Holland Partner Group and Holland Construction is serving as the General Contractor. The firm of Ankrom Moisan is the architect and the structural engineer is CKC Structural Engineers. The project is expected to be completed by late 2018.

Conco will shortly begin work on the building and will provide concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, shotcrete, and finishing. We expect our part of the job to take approximately 10 months during which we will place 16,000 cubic yards of concrete. Along with providing extensive concrete services for the 14 & Glisan tower, we also recently started on another high-rise, the Modera Glisan, directly across the street that is being developed by the Mill Creek Resident Trust Company.

Since the 14 & Glisan tower is located near a historic district, the side of the building facing the older architecture steps down in height so as not to dwarf the lower buildings. The architects explain that “the concept of the building is derived from the character of the surrounding district,” and evokes both the simplicity and mass of the buildings adjacent to the site. The more modern looking glassy top complements much of the rest of the Portland skyline that is comprised of newer, modern-looking towers.

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.

The Conco Companies is providing a full range of concrete services on “Building C,” a part of the Village at Totem Lake redevelopment project in Kirkland, WA. The development company is CenterCal Properties LLC, who describes the project as “a lifestyle center with a village feel.” The General Contractor is Venture GC, the architect is GBD Architects and the structural engineer is DCI Engineers. Building C, a turnkey concrete package, is Phase II of the project: a 265,000 square foot building that will offer street-level retail and restaurant space as well as upper-level residential units.

Conco’s job responsibilities include providing concrete pumping, reinforcement, formwork, and finishing services along with professional construction hauling services. We started work this August and expect to be finished in about 10 months. One particular challenge of the project is that the construction site is right next to an active shopping mall. Therefore, we are carefully planning before we bring in the multiple placing booms the job requires.

The redevelopment project is a welcomed improvement to the area as the original Totem Lake Mall, built in 1973, was outdated and in varying states of neglect and vacancies. In fact, a Puget Sound Business Journal article from 2015 noted that the original Totem Lake Mall could be considered “the most tired-looking big property in Kirkland.”

The Village at Totem Lake development is expected to be finished by the end of 2018 or the beginning of 2019 and will include a park, retail shops, restaurants, 850 high-end apartments, and a state-of-the-art luxury movie theater. The mall already has commitments from two tenants, Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s, both of which are located in Phase I and are scheduled to open in the fall of 2017.

The Conco Companies are a leading supplier of concrete services for 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. Since that time, we have taken a leading role as one of the top concrete contractors in the region. We have four regional offices serving California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon and Colorado.
