Conco concrete crews completed the pour of a 7,500 square foot parking lot at Via Christi earlier this week! Our team will be remodeling the 6,000 square foot cardiopulmonary space at the Via Christi St. Francis campus along with the addition of a new parking lot. Crews have started on flooring demolition and will be working on new flooring installation and paint over the coming weeks.
Even though Botanica has been closed to the public the Conco team continues to make progress on their Troll Hill play area! Our team completed play pads for outdoor checkers and chess and installed limestone retaining walls to control drainage. In the coming weeks we will pour concrete at the Troll Hill and release the artists to start creating the troll. Check out a few recent photos of our progress!
Despite the recent wet and inclement weather our crews at the Fidelity Car Park are making great progress! The 4th floor structure is well under way with half of the deck already poured. In early May we will start forming and pouring the columns for the 5th floor. We will also be able to open up the first floor area for other trades to begin work. Check out these pictures of the progress we’ve made so far!
We’re excited to share a few photos of the Viega Logistics building in McPherson! Conco crews have been busy completing a new office space, loading dock and rack system building on the north end of the complex. It’s been an honor to partner with Viega over the past several years as they continue to expand! Their complex in McPherson has grown significantly since our initial partnership as they continue to increase domestic capacity.
This week crews started on phase two of our work at Botanica breaking ground on the new Koch Carousel Gardens.

First up is work on some retaining walls and extra-large size checker and chess boards! Check out these renderings of the troll hill that will be the next part of the project we construct!
Conco crews are hard at work in downtown Wichita at the Fidelity Bank Car Park project.

We will continue to keep you updated on all of our exciting progress, but in the meantime check out Fidelity Bank’s live video stream of the RISE project HERE!
Last Friday Conco hosted our annual Safety and Development Day in our shop and training room. All of our field and office staff spent the day brushing up on old safety topics and learning about new equipment and techniques. Our goal is to provide the best training possible to empower our Conconians to practice these techniques daily to ensure a safe environment on our job sites! We’re thankful for all the people who played a part in making this day a success! Many Conconians, subcontractors, suppliers, and vendors taught classes and did demonstrations.
We’re excited to share we recently started construction on a new project for The First Tee of Greater Wichita! The First Tee is a nonprofit organization focused on impacting the lives of young people in the greater Wichita area by providing educational programs that build character, instilling life-enhancing values and promoting healthy choices through the game of golf. Conco crews recently started work on the parking lot, which is phase one of the project. Phase two includes constructing the building which will be their new headquarters! We are excited to partner with such a fantastic organization and to help them establish the Wichita chapter of The First Tee!
