Revisiting a well made playground

Posted on March 11, 2016August 30, 2019 by Nathan Kappler

How can you have any better customers than the users of a playground?

We constructed this one at Sunrise Drive Elementary a few years back and it still looks great!

From start to finish, this took 40 days!

You can have your cake and EAT it too!

Upgraded: Our new Robotic Total Station

Posted on October 8, 2015March 9, 2016 by Nathan Kappler

For the past 10 years, we have built up our capabilities with a mechanical Total Station. This tool has forever changed the way we layout foundations, sites, and intricate architectural features. We have now taken the next step and upgraded to a robotic total station. We will be using this for construction staking, precision layouts, as built documentation, and more.

This is how we use BIM to everyone’s advantage on the job site. Read more about Total Stations here.

Observatory Construction in South Africa

Posted on August 18, 2015 by Nathan Kappler

About one year ago, the team from Kappcon traveled to the South African Astronomical Observatory in Sutherland, South Africa. It was an amazing work trip full of long days, cooperation, and problem solving. This was a truly great team effort. The telescope is one of three for the Korean Microlensing Telescope Network.

This was part of the Design-Build observatory construction contract that Kappcon has recently completed.

These telescopes will be detecting a lot of planets in the near future.
