Project Update: Westurban Infields

While most of the baseball attention in Wichita has been focused on downtown we have quietly been working on a project for Westurban Little League in West Wichita. Our crews have been leading the charge on a project to install synthetic turf on two fields at the complex. We first removed the existing infields, then poured a concrete apron around the perimeter, assisted with installation of fabric and drainage and then filled the area with gravel. In the next several days our team will complete the project by assisting with the installation of the synthetic turf. This project has been a great opportunity for our team to help our community and support local organizations! Check out these progress photos and stay tuned for final pictures of the fields!

Project Spotlight: Wichita Airport Authority Terminal Demolition

Our crews are putting the finishing touches on the first phase of the Terminal Deconstruction and Renovation project. In addition to demolishing the majority of the existing terminal, we renovated 14,000 square feet of office and support spaces. Early in the project our team relocated the primary data center for the entire airport property out of the old basement to a new location on airport property.

Project Spotlight: Botanica Carousel Garden

We’re thrilled to share the completion of the Botanica Carousel restoration project! It was an honor to partner with our friends at WDM Architecture and Botanica to bring the nearly 100-year old carousel back to life. The 9,000 square foot Pavilion can be enjoyed year-round as the building is enclosed and heated, but may also be opened during nice weather.

Many of our Conconians were able to ride the carousel last week at a special preview Botanica hosted prior to its opening to the public next Friday evening, November 29th for the opening of Illuminations!

Work continues to progress on the Logistics building at Viega in McPherson!

The office addition is taking shape with interior framing and roofing ongoing. We appreciate all the hard work of our team and look forward to sharing more photos as the project wraps up this spring!

Project Update – Fidelity Bank RISE: A Beacon of Progress

Conco crews are hard at work in downtown Wichita at the Fidelity Bank Car Park! Horizontal forming is well under way with the installation of temporary shoring. This will allow our crews to place reinforcement and place nearly 1,700 cubic yards of concrete on each elevated deck! After each deck is poured and cured, the shoring will be removed and re-used on each level.

Project Spotlight: Vornado Warehouse Expansion

Our team recently completed a new warehouse for our longtime business partner Vornado! Their new 105,000 square foot addition will provide more warehouse and logistics space for their line of fans, circulators, heaters and other products. We are so proud that an industry leading company like Vornado calls the Wichita area home! All the way back in 1945 the first Vornado fan was perfected and introduced to the market. We look forward to continuing our partnership as both companies continue to grow!

Project Spotlight: Central Community Church Chapel

We are so excited to share photos of the recently completed Central Landing Chapel at Central Community Church! The stunning 10,420 square foot Chapel features Romanesque-style proportions, with the height being 1.3 times greater than the width. The Chapel’s covered entry opens to a foyer and pew seating with a central aisle and two flanking ambulatories. A grand hall leads to the hearth and bridal rooms and provides a connection to the Church. The adjacent Chapel Garden provides great views from the Chapel and also offers an outdoor venue for weddings and other events. It was an honor partnering with SPT Architecture and Central Community Church on such a special project!

Ridge Road and treat yourself to their 3-minute, world class automated exterior car wash and see the great work our team did on this unique project!

Project Update: DCCCA Rehabilitation Remodel

Conco crews are hard at work wrapping up the finishing touches on a remodel at the local DCCCA rehabilitation center. The Douglas County Citizens Committee on Alcoholism recovery center will provide social and community services to help improve the safety, health, and well-being of women and men in need from substance abuse. They will also have a foster care program in the facility.

Our team completed a full remodel of 4,000 square feet of the building to provide a pre-school and daycare area for the facility. New mechanical and electrical systems were also installed throughout the remaining 4,5000 square feet of the building along with construction of a fenced in playground as part of the new pre-school. Great job to our fantastic team!
