Big things are taking shape on the waterfront. At 557 E. Bayshore, Conco is delivering the concrete backbone for a 183,450 SF development that will redefine this corner of Redwood City.

This job is all about scale and strategy:
• 162,792 LF of PT cable
• Over 1.27 million lbs of rebar across garage + residential
• 8,165 CY of concrete placed with precision
The structure will rise as a five-story garage wrapped by a five-story residential community, adding 222 new homes with rare views overlooking the Bair Island State Marine Park and our great San Francisco Bay. With active surroundings, and a complex layout, every pour and placement demands tight coordination and technical focus.

We’re excited to share a look at our work on the One Meadow Glen residential project in downtown Millbrae!

Our team provided the structural concrete for this major development delivering over 13,000 cubic yards of concrete and supporting a 418,352 SF building that will soon welcome new residents.

We also want to give a huge shoutout to SBI Builders Inc. for the amazing collaboration on this project. The SBI team went above and beyond, Creating this video recognizing Conco’s incredible work. thank you, SBI Builders Inc!

We especially appreciated these kind words from Mauricio Garcia, Superintendent at SBI Builders:

“I just wanted to take a moment to recognize the incredible work you all do. Especially the effort behind the scenes from the office! From coordination to logistics, keeping the schedule on point, and managing all the details that often go unnoticed, your dedication truly makes the project run smoothly.”

More progress updates to come. We’re proud to help build the future of Millbrae!

Conco is Pre-Qualified with Hoop Welding for Caltrans, a process which can take up to a year to achieve through many stringent testing criteria. Conco has invested in the time, people, and the proper equipment to meet this qualification process for Caltrans and a lot more.

With Conco Reinforcing at our Benicia Rebar fabrication shop and Rail yard facility now being able to meet the Caltrans criteria, we are fabricating welded hoops.

An Example of this is the current Caltrans Project 01 – 366004 Eureka Slough. This Project consists of 120 caissons (Piers drilled into the ground, filled with welded rebar hoops, vertical rebar, and concrete). Depending on varying depths and widths each caisson can contain 300 or more certified welded Rebar hoops. There are around 18,000 Certified welded rebar hoops on this job alone.

This added Caltrans welding certification along with the newly renovated Benicia Reinforcing facility has increased the capability to diversify what Conco is now able to do in its Pre-fabrication yard with its outdoor overhead cranes. With Conco’s Hoop welding equipment 1 operator can weld up to 250 Certified hoops in one shift. Conco currently has over 34,000 hoop welds on the books.

We are thankful for the investment from Conco’s management and the hard work of the employees at our Benicia Facility that made this possible to be a pre-qualified hoop welding facility. We look forward to continuing to meet the industry demands along with a high quality of service. (YouTube VIDEO)

Conco is currently working on THE CONFIDENTIAL: a 29 story, cast in place tower in Seattle’s Belltown neighborhood. Partnering with Exxel Pacific as the General Contractor, Conco is helping to bring this mixed-use building to completion by providing concrete pumping and placing, shotcrete and reinforcing. With over 22,000 CY of concrete planned to be poured, we anticipate topping out the tower in November of 2023. This project will demand over 4 million pounds of rebar that we will fabricate at our state-of-the-art rebar facility in Rochester, WA. In the end, THE CONFIDENTIAL will contain 375,000 square feet of deck and we are thankful to RPM for their support on the rebar installation and Cadman for their readymix supply.

As noted by Superintendent Bill Lessard, “This crew came off of what could be called a mega project at Building X (a Facebook project) so it’s kind of nice to get back to the basics of a rinse and repeat tower while they’re still firing on all cylinders. It’s a great crew, the core of which have been together 8 years. It’s always a privilege and a pleasure to be charged with such a competent crew who work so well together”. This is the third tower project for Bill with Conco, and the whole team benefits from his expertise.

THE CONFIDENTIAL, inspired by the work-from-home impacts of the pandemic, will feature larger units that have dedicated workspaces. Most units will also have a balcony for outside space. This unique approach will result in less occupants of the building and the hope is that it will encourage a sense of community amongst the residents. Developed by Security Properties, this project will contain four levels of below-grade parking in addition to the 29 levels of mixed use above; including commercial/retail, additional parking, office, residential and amenity levels. This building is sure to be a fantastic addition to the Belltown neighborhood and Conco looks forward to this next project with Exxel Pacific!
