Gooood morning from Webcor Concrete Project Engineer Destiny Sepulveda and Sr. Project Engineer Jordan Davis! Who says hard work can't be fun? Thank you to Webcor Project Director Mark Delgado for capturing this great shot in Berkeley!
Talk about a perfect team-bonding event! Our San Francisco International Airport (SFO) International Terminal Building (ITB) Roof Upgrade team recreated SFO's iconic building during a team outing at Paint the Town. It was a perfect opportunity to flex their artistic muscles while giving themselves a keepsake of this impactful project—a comprehensive effort to restore and fortify the facility's façade against the elements and improve energy consumption.
FIRST place! For the second year, Webcor APAC (Asia PAC-ific, Webcor's Asian-American/Pacific Islander employee resource group) competed against neighboring Bay Area companies in California Dragon Boat Association's annual Sprints Race. Despite the unexpected downpour, Webcor APAC's team of novice dragon boat paddlers came out on top, placing first in their final race and beating their previous sprint time in each round! Congratulations to our unstoppable Webcor APAC team!
It's official: The Contra Costa County Administration Building & Redevelopment Project is the world's first TRUE Certification for Zero Waste Gold for construction-certified public project! The TRUE Certification for Construction program, administered by Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI), recognizes projects that achieve exceptional levels of waste reduction, reuse, and recycling. Over the course of the CCC Admin Building project, 95% of construction waste was diverted from landfills and waste-to-energy facilities, and greenhouse emissions were reduced by 8,500 metric tons. Many thanks to Perkins&Will, Contra Costa County, and All About Waste for your partnership in our journey to TRUE Gold! Photo by Kyle Jeffers Photo

It's official: Verde, formerly known as Mission Rock Parcel F, has received its temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO)! Nestled in the heart of San Francisco's rapidly growing Mission Rock neighborhood, Verde will offer expertly crafted residential units overlooking spectacular views of China Basin's new waterfront park and the San Francisco Giants' home stadium (Oracle Park), as well as ample amenity/retail space. The building’s podium creates multiple terrace levels that overlook the lively public space, cultivating an open community atmosphere. Congratulations to the entire team on reaching this major milestone on Verde's journey to substantial completion!
