The Conco Companies

This weekend Gonsalves & Santucci Inc. dba Conco started the 1st of 3 phases of Continuously Reinforced Concrete Paving (CRCP) iInstallation on Highway 680 in Pleasanton, CA. Our crews placed close to 530,000 lbs in 15 hours between 8am to midnight providing the Vanguard Construction and Bay Cities Paving & Grading teams roughly 6,359 linear feet for their Phase 1 Concrete Placement. Shout out to our Conco Team for their coordination and team effort to not only get the job done, but get it accomplished safely. Well Done.. ?? There are many advantages to Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP) including crack control, load transfer, durability, reduced maintenance and heat transfer, making it a popular choice for many transportation infrastructure projects. #Conco #theconcocompanies #vanguardconstruction #baycities

The Conco Companies placed a 2000 yard mat pour this morning. The new standard appears to be challenging access in order to facilitate the timely placement of substantial amounts of concrete. Conco Pump was able to produce 300 yards per hour on this challenging location, having the right equipment for the job is key, our large fleet of concrete pumps ensures we have the right tool for the job. Since safety is of the utmost importance at Conco, great care was taken when operating near power lines. The ACPA and Conco regulations require a 20' distance be maintained. The 20 meter boom's modest unfolding height allowed it to deploy beneath the lines while keeping 25 feet of clearance. Conco Pump has pre-task plans and JHAs that are filled out prior to each pour to ensure the highest level of saftey.

Conco's ConFoam operation has been working diligently on a Mega Project in Fontana, California. The "Fontana" racetrack, is undergoing extensive renovations that will convert the 2 mile super speedway track into a 1/2 mile short track. The redevelopment is making space on the property for seven million square feet of tilt-up warehouse structures. The project passes over one of the primary water delivery sources in the Los Angeles region. ConFoam, also known as LCC or Lightweight Cellular Concrete, has been selected to replace the native soil with the stronger and lighter ConFoam in order to lower the surcharge on the pipeline. We are currently in the first phases of this project, which will require an estimated 65,000 yards of ConFoam.

Conco Cement, Reinforcing, Shotcrete, and Pumping collaborated to pour the third of four mat pour’s on Saturday. Conco Companies' turn-key strategy for the concrete construction offers our customers a one-stop shop for all their needs.

Mat Pour The Conco Companies was out early this Saturday morning pouring the second of four mat pours in Menlo Park on a BNB project. This large site has access on 3 of the 4 sides but with a busy UPS terminal on the same dead end court as the job site, logistics are more difficult than expected. Pump setup was tricky dealing with different obstacles and limited room to allow ready mix truck staging. Thanks to a great plan that was executed by the Conco team and more importantly the Central Ready Mix drivers the job hummed along at an average pour rate of 450 yards per hour for the majority of the pour. #conco #matpour #centralconcrete
