Way up on Mt Graham, Arizona there is the Large Binocular Telescope Observatory.
This building experiences some of the most extreme environmental conditions.
To add to the excitement of the extreme environmental conditions, this building won’t hold still. It rotates 560 degrees and has two roof shutters that open and shut every night for a world class science program.
This summer our challenge was to improve existing metal roofs that have suffered damage due to falling ice and snow.
Update – Project complete and dedication
Update 11/28/16 – Progress picture and article from Arizona Daily Star
Working with a fantastic neighborhood that is passionate about saving a piece of history. This neighborhood has salvaged beautiful glazed roof tiles from a near by demolition of a historic ranch house in mid-town Tucson.
They now are now planning a presentation of those historic tiles on a new park ramada structure.
Kappcon is pleased to be working with this team to ensure a quality result within a tight budget.
Breaking ground!
It sure is nice to start a new project with the Pascua Yaqui Tribe.
We have a great team assembled and now we are ready to go!
This project will have 38 units, for PYT Seniors in Guadalupe, Arizona.
We are increasing our capabilities to self perform work for our customers.
Our new Bobcat E42 Excavator is going to work for us at our current project with the Town of Marana, AZ.
Kappcon is your partner in success!
Next up for the E42: replacing an existing basketball court slab with a new post tension slab in McNeal, AZ.

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!
Our team battled the snowy conditions at the Steward Observatory, Mt. Lemmon, to get this telescope foundation cast in place.
Our Hilti Total Station made the layout precise.
All the form work was pre-fabricated in our shop.
It is now ready for the enclosure, dome, and telescope.
It will be tough to construct a telescope foundation with all this white stuff piled up on the ground. Where’s our layout stakes?
Excellent new housing for Senior’s of the Pascua Yaqui Tribe!
Even at the snowy Mt Lemmon Sky Center, our team is going to mobilize and make the OWL Telescope foundation a success!
Kappcon is very happy to deliver a new Fire Station for the Three Points Fire District. They have a great vision!
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.
