COMANCO Turns Heads with Gyp Stack Closure Designed to Blend Environmental Protection with Style
COMANCO is currently in the second phase of a large-scale Phosphate Gypsum Stack Closure project in Central Florida. Currently, 23% of this phase is complete, and the team continues progressing toward full project completion. Overall, this project highlights COMANCO’s technical expertise and the strength of leadership and teamwork across the board.
Strong Leadership in the Field
At the helm of this project is Superintendent Gerardo Ruiz, a respected veteran known for his strong leadership and commitment to developing others. Supporting him are Foreman Freddy Serano and Leadman Everardo Amador. This leadership trio keeps the project moving efficiently and invests in mentoring their crew. Particularly, they spot potential, build skill sets, and strengthen the entire team from within.
A Multi-Talented Team Player
Everardo stands out not just for his on-site leadership but also for his versatility across the company. A licensed CDL driver, he regularly supports COMANCO projects by taking on deliveries and smaller liner jobs when our Fleet department is otherwise engaged. His adaptability and initiative demonstrate COMANCO’s commitment to resourceful problem-solving and getting the job done wherever needed.
Environmental Protection with an Aesthetic Edge
This crew has already installed 456,323 SF of Agru MicroSpike® 60mil HDPE liner, which features a unique green color. Unlike the black liner typically used, the client requested this green liner to enhance the visual appeal and help the installation blend into the surrounding landscape.
In addition, 441,438 SF of Skaps 270-2-10 DS Geocomposite has been installed. Together, these high-quality materials are essential for preventing contamination and ensuring long-term environmental protection by keeping clean water from interacting with the gypsum byproduct.
Protecting Clean Water and the Environment
The work being done on this site goes beyond completing a closure. It focuses on protecting our environment. By safely containing gypsum, we help ensure surrounding water sources remain clean and uncontaminated, securing a safer future for the community and environment.
