The Conco Companies has completed its concrete services to convert 8899 Beverly Blvd, a former 10-story office building located near Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, into a building with 40 luxury condo units and two high-end penthouses on the upper floors. The project was designed by Olsen Kundig Architects, managed by Pankow, and developed by Townscape Partners.

Conco’s portion of the project consisted of a major structural retrofit and additions to the building. The retrofit included enhancement of existing shear walls, columns, and beams from the basement up the 8th floor. The building additions were interior column enhancements and 24”-thick shear walls.

Conco crews worked long hours for 8 months to successfully shotcrete 3,700 cubic yards in extreme reinforced conditions, and pump 18,000 cubic yards for the structural concrete work needed by our long-standing client. The project logistics were another challenge that Conco crews were able to effectively coordinate under a high-pace schedule.

8899 Beverly is nearing completion, with Conco’s partners putting the final touches on the building. The Conco Companies is proud to have worked with its partners on this remarkable project.

Hillhurst

Since August 2020, The Conco Companies has been providing full concrete services for the new Cedar Sinai Medical Center on Hillhurst Avenue, in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. The services provided include shotcrete, concrete pumping, place and finish, rebar, and formwork. 

When completed, the medical center will cover an 11,000 square-feet footprint, and introduce a 3-story building for a total of 51,000 square feet of covered area—with three levels below-grade parking.

This project’s build is accompanied by logistical struggles that Conco is equipped to overcome. In particular, there is only one-sided access to the project site, with an excavation that is over 35-feet deep. The roadside access is also beset with overhead utility and electrical lines, making the incorporation of concrete and other construction materials into the project a feat. 

Conco and the general contractor, Pankow, strategized the work sequence for maximum effectiveness in a tiny footprint. Construction is expected to stay on course throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and be completed in May 2021.

Conco will place over 1,000 cubic yards of concrete, with a total of 10,000 square feet of Slab-on-Grade, and a suspended deck.

Each residential unit will be a studio ranging from 393 to 424 square feet, with one unit being 875 square feet. The building features shotcrete columns and walls with board finish, and includes property management offices, community laundry facilities, a common room, an observation deck, and outdoor courtyards. 

The new affordable housing community will be located near the historic Victoria Park, at Pico and Crenshaw Boulevards. It is part of Proposition HHH, a $1.2 Billion bond that provides help and housing to homeless and low income residents across Los Angeles, and is one of several Los Angeles affordable housing projects that have chosen Conco for concrete services.

2019 ECA Awards- Conco

The Conco Companies is honored to announce and congratulate Doug Marquis of Conco Pumping on being awarded Engineering Contractors’ Association (ECA) Personal Safety Award.

At their annual installation of officers, the Engineering Contractors’ Association (ECA) awarded Doug Marquis of Conco Pumping with their Personal Safety Award.  Doug was recognized for his exceptional work in the construction field forwarding worker safety.  His achievements include working with equipment manufacturers to improve the safety of boom pump operators in 2018. He improved their safety by collaboratively developing systems to create tie off points when working on boom pumps. The tie-off points aid in fall prevention and related injuries.

In 2019, Doug further improved safety in the field of concrete pumping by developing two training programs. First, he developed a procedure for new and existing operators that guides and educates employees on proper concrete hose inspection before use. Second, he developed a 180 minute online safety course that reviews concrete boom pump operation and safety, as well as, hose inspection and cleaning procedures, illness and fall prevention. 

Since 1976, the ECA has helped Southern California construction professionals by providing leadership and continuing education for its members. 

We congratulate Doug on his ECA award and commend him for his commitment to safety and contributions to The Conco Companies.
