Project Spotlight: Viega Logistics – ProPress II – Tool Room

Conco crews are wrapping up finishing touches on the ProPress II facility and the Tool Room at the Viega complex. At over 200,000 square feet, ProPress II will be used primarily to manufacture special metal fittings. Work continues to progress on the Logistics building and should be complete mid Spring. It’s been a pleasure to partner with Viega over the past several years as they continue to expand! We recently started renovations on their corporate headquarters in Broomfield, Colorado and their complex in McPherson has grown significantly since our initial partnership as they continue to increase domestic capacity.

Project Spotlight: Kansas Food Bank

We’re excited to share photos of our recently completed Kansas Food Bank warehouse addition project. Our crews added 21,000 square feet of warehouse and volunteer space along with a 27,500 cubic foot walk-in cooler. The new space was much needed as the demand for the Food Bank’s services continues to grow. We’re thrilled to celebrate their grand opening this week!

Project Kickoff: Waldinger Corporate Office Remodel and Addition

Conco is excited to start a new project with long time business partner Waldinger Corporation! Our crews will be on site next week to put the first shovels in the ground. This addition and remodel may be familiar to many Conconians as it is located next door to our former office at 3030 All Hallows. Superintendent Aaron Powers and Project Manager David Pipes will lead the Conco team for the project.

Project Update: VCH Rock Road Rehabilitation Hospital

Conco is nearing completion of a 16 month project at the Rock Road Rehabilitation facility in East Wichita. This 3-phase project has focused on privatizing over 30 patient rooms to help families and patients recover from accidents, surgeries and other traumatic events. The Conco team, lead by Superintendent Aaron Powers, have touched nearly every part of the hospital through mechanical upgrades, infrastructure improvements and cosmetic updates. Working in a fully operational hospital is difficult but our team pushed through and delivered an excellent product for a long time client!

Project Update: Delano Retail Renovation

Construction is well underway on the Delano retail renovation project at the corner of Douglas and Osage in the historic Delano neighborhood! The building will feature four tenant spaces for a hair salon, restaurant, retail or office space with an outdoor patio on the main level. The new upper level space will include glass garage doors and a beautiful rooftop patio. We’re proud to partner with Spangenberg Phillips Tice Architecture to create this new space in the heart of Wichita!

Project Update: Vornado Warehouse Expansion

Work is progressing at the Vornado Warehouse Expansion project! When we last checked in our concrete crews had just placed and finished 60,000 square feet of slab on grade. All structural steel is now complete and bar joists with half of the roof decking is in place. Site utilities are currently being installed with paving and wall sheathing to follow. We will be sure to update as work is completed!

Project Update: Central Community Church Chapel

It’s been a busy three months since we last took a look at the Central Community Church Chapel. Interior finishes are well underway with crews completing the tile flooring this week. Millwork will continue for the duration of summer and the church pews will be installed in early September. Our mason crew is finishing up stone veneers at the courtyard walls and we’ll be sharing photos of the exterior wedding courtyard once it is finished this fall!

Project Spotlight: DCCCA Rehabilitation Remodel

Conco crews are hard at work remodeling 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.

We are currently working on new flooring, ceilings and other finishes to create a day care area. The remaining areas of the facility will have extensive work on the electrical and mechanical systems. We will also be building a 4,600 square foot playground area with new fencing.

Project Update: Tommy’s Car Wash

Our team has been busy these past few months working on the new Tommy’s Car Wash and the structure is now complete. Crews are working diligently to enclose the building to prepare for interior finishes and equipment installation! For the exterior, our crews are preparing to pour the drive lanes and parking area. The exit lane of the car wash will have radiant tube heating installed in the concrete all the way to the street so that as water runs out of the car wash, it will not freeze in the winter. Stay tuned for completed project photos to come!

Project Spotlight: Cowley College Sumner Campus

We’re excited to share the new Cowley College Sumner Campus located on 18 acres in Wellington recently completed construction! This project included the design of a large outdoor student gathering plaza connecting the two initial buildings. The Short General Education Center is a 24,000 square foot, three-story building and is the hub of the campus. The campus bookstore is located here, as well as a main dining area, student gathering and social area, tutoring and student resource, classrooms, lecture spaces, faculty offices, conference rooms, and a large community room.

The Technology and Innovation Center (shown below) is a 17,000 square foot pre-engineered building housing instructional spaces for information technology, agriculture and welding. An accelerated design-build schedule meant that less than 18 months after beginning design, the College began teaching in their new facility. We were honored to partner with Agora Architecture and Cowley College to create this campus!
