Our dirtwork crew recently finished a 100,000 square foot building pad at Vornado after fighting through a challenging winter. Concrete crews are busy pouring footings and will be starting on dock walls next week. Stay tuned for some large slab pours coming in May!
Our team is hard at work at ICM in Colwich, with around 250 people on site working to have the plant operational by mid-summer. Production has recently begun on the lower level of the Wood Chip Building, a large facility with 30 inch thick walls on two sides and a wall height of 30 feet in several areas. We will also be starting the scrubber, acid containment and gasifier foundations in the next month. We will continue to keep you updated as we work toward completion!

It’s been a busy few months since we last updated you on our work at Viega in McPherson. Crews are currently working on the floors and office area and are starting the site paving process for the ProPress II building. Work is progressing on the Tool Room and both it and the ProPress building will be complete by mid summer. As you can see in the photos below our crews recently completed pile foundations for the Logistics building. We’re also working on a loading dock expansion and office addition. We appreciate all the hard work our team is putting in and look forward to sharing more photos as more of the complex is completed this summer!
The Conco team was honored and excited to share the new coping room at the Wichita Children’s Home with the Hatchett family last week! Conco enjoyed a long, close relationship with Steve Hatchett who had a passion to help children in the Wichita area. In honor of Steve, Conco renovated a room at the Wichita Children’s Home to give children in crisis a place to find peace and comfort. The room looks, feels and smells like a cabin in the woods complete with a front porch, wood picnic table and scenic views. Opportunities like this help us all remember that life is precious and sharing our blessings is so important!
Our crews worked through the frigid temperatures this week to set the tilt-up panels for the Kansas Food Bank project! The project is challenging due to the integration of the structural steel and the tilt-up panels. The steel and panels must be erected in a specific sequence so that the structural integrity is protected. On Tuesday our drone operator was able to catch our teams in action as they placed several of the tilt-up panels. We are excited to see this project progress! The finished building will provide much needed space for the Kansas Food Bank as it continues its mission to provide food for those in need!
Conco was honored to be part of the blessing and grand opening of the Ascension/Via Christi Project Renewal at St. Joseph this week. The community came together to celebrate many years of planning, fund raising, construction and training all focused on providing the best behavioral health care in the region. Conco played a significant role in several different aspects of the journey. Recognizing the importance of behavioral and mental health in our community we donated over $80,000 to Project Renewal. We also were the construction manager on two of the major projects; the Psychiatric Observation Unit at St. Joseph and the Behavioral Outpatient Clinic at the Clifton Building. Both projects will allow Ascension/Via Christi to better serve our community! We are thankful for partners like Ascension/Via Christi and the services they provide to our communities and our families!
Work continues on the Excel Industries Building Expansion! The crews have poured the floor and walls for the paint addition and they are working on the foundations at the weld shop addition. Metal building erection will start next week. We are excited to continue work for a long time business partner! Check out these progress pictures:
Conco hosted the Wichita Facilities Management Chapter of IFMA on Thursday February 7th. The meeting was presented by Mike Smith, President and Founder of MSE Creative Consulting. Mike discussed managing for extreme weather conditions. The topic couldn’t have been more relevant; with the weather we’ve had lately! It was great exposure for our Facility Performance Group!
Conco was also awarded the prestigious 2018 AGC Safety Award of Excellence at the AGC Awards Lunch last week. Conco was identified as the leader in jobsite safety and culture for firms with 250,000-400,000 man hours. We are thankful for the hard work of our safety committee and our Safety Manager Dennis Kalp. Through their leadership the safety culture on our jobsites continues to rise! Our safety record shows how seriously all Conconians take the safety and wellbeing of all people on our jobsites! We’re excited to roll out more initiatives and priorities for safety in 2019 so be on the lookout at Safety Day in just a few weeks! Congratulations and great work!
