Guantanamo Bay Live Update from the Field
Guantanamo Bay Live updates continue as COMANCO crews make steady progress on the first solid waste landfill project in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Superintendent Martin Calderon recently shared a real-time field update highlighting the work being completed on the 11.5-acre landfill cell despite challenging site conditions and high winds.
This major environmental construction project represents another example of COMANCO’s commitment to delivering high-quality geosynthetic installation services in demanding environments around the world.
Guantanamo Bay Live Progress on Landfill Cell Construction
The COMANCO team is actively installing a three-layer geosynthetic liner system designed to provide long-term environmental protection and containment for the landfill cell. The system includes a Geosynthetic Clay Liner (GCL), a 60mil HDPE textured geomembrane, and a 300mil double-sided composite layer.
Each component of the liner system plays an important role in helping prevent leakage and protecting surrounding soil and groundwater from contamination. Proper installation of these materials is critical to maintaining the landfill’s long-term performance and regulatory compliance.
The Guantanamo Bay Live project update demonstrates the precision and coordination required to complete large-scale environmental construction projects safely and efficiently.
Battling High Winds and Challenging Conditions
One of the biggest challenges crews continue facing on this project is the constant high winds common to the region. Wind conditions can create difficulties during geosynthetic deployment and welding operations, especially when working with large geomembrane panels.
Despite these conditions, Superintendent Martin Calderon and the COMANCO crew continue pushing the project forward while maintaining strict safety and quality standards. Careful planning, communication, and teamwork have allowed the project to remain on schedule.
The team’s dedication reflects COMANCO’s continued commitment to Safety, Quality, and Service on every project site.
